    @Andreas_Wolf

    Whereas Tabor itself will have its own discussions, currently it is obviously the launch and terms that have met with some confusion:

    and the posts following

    I expect there will be clarification this week at Amiga Ireland, as Trevor will be present.

    Did I understand Trevor correctly at 28:08 into the current video interview that this driver might not be included with the Tabor/A1222 release?

    At 52:15, does Trevor say that Mark Olsen is the author of a sound driver for A-Eon? Which one would that be? Tabor?

    These same issue with being able to supply complete X5000 systems with new graphics cards
    has reached the sound cards as well.
    So likewise with Polaris support for graphics cards,
    drivers for newer model sound cards are required.

    Would be interesting to know which audio controller/codec this driver is for, and if MorphOS will get this driver as well.

    A1222eth.device version 1.2 is already included in Enhancer.

    Yes, that's what I quoted and replied to, and hence my question.

    Hyperion's Contract for porting Amiga OS 4.x to the A1222 includes an Ethernet Driver for the onboard Ethernet.

    A-Eon version of the A1222 onboard ethernet driver completed in March 2018 .

    So you say that Trevor is referring to Jamie Krueger's driver (Hyperion), not to René W. Olsen's driver (A-Eon), in this interview? This doesn't seem plausible as he's mentioning A-Eon's "video driver" and "sound driver" in the very same sentence. And also, I wonder why he even should refer to Hyperion's driver when A-Eon has commissioned and already released its own driver.

    Jamie Kruger's driver should be on the A1222 ISO as part of the porting contract.
    A-Eon's would then have the option to exclude their R. W. Olsen version from Enhancer 2.0 going forward.

    Matthew Leaman informed me that, due to factory shutdowns, several of his new classic Amiga hardware products have not been shipped or are now greatly behind schedule. A-EON Technology's A1222 early Adopter development and release schedule has similarly been affected and Matthew thinks the delays could push production into the third quarter of this year.

    and

    Matthew also confirmed that the AAA Bundles themselves will now be shipped out the first week of March.

    "Matthew Leaman [...] recently took delivery of the updated layout files from James Felix, the former Ultra Varisys engineer who was a key designer of the original Tabor board. The new motherboard, renamed A1222 v1.3, includes replacements for several obsolete minor components."

    "A-EON is currently stalled on the prototype stage of the new v1.3 design of the A1222 Plus. This hopefully will be resolved soon as there is some additional help enlisted to get this over the line. Just working through the mundane NDA/legal stuff."

    Going by the Enhancer 2.0 press release, it's probably "OxygenHD AHI sound driver v4.1", which seems to be for the CMI8788 PCI audio chipset.

    And regarding thread topic: "A1222 AHI sound driver v6.3" is also contained.
