    Question answered, I guess:

    "Quark: Improved support for systems that are not cache coherent
    Exec: Improved support for systems without cache coherence support
    IDE/SATA: Support for systems without cache coherence
    USB/PCIUSB: EHCI/OHCI support for machines without cache coherence
    "
    http://www.morphos-team.net/releasenotes/3.8

    Btw, Exec note says "Miscellaneous improvements to support the PPC440 family of CPUs". Shouldn't that say "PPC460" like the other notes do?


    Edit: Missing cache coherency comes with some limitations, it seems.
