What is that supposed to mean?
I mean that there is the Radeon series (9250 etc) that I know is supported, but that maybe there are some other important stuffs that do need new drivers.
Well, going for CR style make MorphOS / Linux / AmigaOS usage dependent on supported SATA cards, sound card and graphic cards.
Little problem is that board has PCI-E big slot gone for gfx, PCI slot usually gone for SATA and PCI-E x1 slot left for sound card (or vice versa, for SATA card).
I would prefer if they did better (multiply devices supported) SATA onboard as with SAM440, even putting M9 Radeon (9200 class) onboard was great and faster solution on SAM440, but SAM460 is what it is.
Current MorphOS dilemma is: SoundBlaster Live! (emu10kx) is PCI only card AND
SiI3x1x two-port cards is also. No W3D gfx card is avail as PCI-E, and out of all supported I believe only ATI Radeon X800 XT and some high end 9800 models are.
This will make quite difficult supported platform unless drivers expand a bit - and since Radeons X800 are cheap and avail, I also think more of some PCI-E x1 SATA card or sound card.
