I'm impressed that MorphOS developers have been able to create better 2D/3D than you find on almost any other alternative OS
Impressed, but not surprised! A combination that guarantees a big smile of pleasure.

We have the CPU power to exploit these cards
Sure? And bus/memory bandwidth?

Very rare
Indeed. In fact, wasn't it that only ONE ever existed, in the hands of Gunne Steen, of GGS Data?

I don't know how to deal with 2x AGP slots
Here the software (driver) problem is expanded with the bigger, hardware problem: Actually, we'd better forget about adding support for dead old AGP cards. By the time you reach it, the cards will be impossible to obtain. Let's support current PCI-e cards. Here's one. What? Where'e the thing this plugs into?
Solution? Choose computers with built-in graphics functions, like the Mac Mini. What a pleasant coincidence, it even has a familiar Radeon chip...

Andreas, its frightening that you remember the answers to questions I've asked better than I do myself
It's more than frightening, it's USUAL! And yet Andreas insists in making us believe he is a human being...

emulates x86 in order to run the card's BIOS so that the card initializes itself - MorphOS drivers rely on that (meaning we didn't have to write all the init code.
So, in the MacMini, the graphics chip is left in the same initialized state as the Pegasos (and Efika) SmartFirmware leaves it? Or does MorphOS 2.5 on MacMini use a different driver for a very similar graphis chip?
