    So now you suddenly don't think any longer that Reggae needs to be replaced or radically changed if it cannot be enhanced for the time being?


    Not if it diverts resources from other more important priorities.
    Then again, I've waffled back and forth on several posts.
    Focus on 3D for the Terascale cards or develop GCN drivers?
    Move to X64 or Power9?

    Hey, after hearing about Spectre660's experience with AmigaKit's product support on his X5000 RMA...all I'm certain about is that I'm sticking with my Macs and the next hardware I'm buying will be Ryzen 3000 based.

    I'm slowly moving toward redrumloa's position.
    Except that I believe we could start MorphOS NG development on PCIe based PPC systems like the late 2005 PowerMac G5s.

    But new commodity hardware is going to eventually be necessary.
