It's rather the (inofficial) 7447B, which is often imprecisely subsumed as 7447A. See:

Thanks.

It's in a posting of mine which you already replied to:

You just have to ignore the "(not) supported" classification as it is based on false information previously provided by pega-1. The assignment of exact G4 type(s) to specific PowerMac G4 models is genuine though. My source for this has been:

I hope that after the recent modification it's safe to take it as that ;-)

Any news on PowerMac support dates? I have been waiting for this one since January :P

I notice a lot of Powerbooks in that last PowerDev meeting, will this be part of the 2.6 release?

@stephen_robinson

You mean PowerDev at Geit? It were two Powerbooks, IIRC.
And no, PB support won't be part of MorphOS 2.6 ...

So if a Sonnet 1.4Ghz upgrade uses the 7447a or b it's safe to assume it will work with MorphOS ?

Do you folks have any idea if and when the GeForce 4MX will be supported? This is what my MDD PowerMac G4 has inside it.

probably and most likely never. (maybe it happens if nvidia decides to release the source/documentation for their drivers/cards, but then it still wont be 100%:)

so you better get a supported card for your mac (r7500-9250, or r9500-9800 with no 3d support) or flash a card for the pc with mac bios (cheaper but more difficult indeed:)

As there are a few inconsistencies between the expected (pre-release) hardware support information and actual (release) hardware support information, I recommend visiting the MorphOS-team website for correct information.

This thread served its purpose - it was intended to get information together prior to release: to allow potential users to make informed choices based on information available at the time, and to take the pressure off developers being asked for the same information ad nauseum.

Now that MorphOS 2,6 has been released, the proper place to find such information is MorphOS-Team website.
