    Is there any?

    What mouseadapters are supported (for wheelmouse etc.)?

    I have to just say, that it's amazing too see this released, excellent work! Congratulations to everyone involved!

    I'm more than willing to support this by donations, but currently I don't have G-Rex, only Mediator.

    I would guess slim to non.
    Maybe with the work done by the openpci team. :-?

    We don't have any Mediator hw or the documentation, so unlikely this would happen.

    I have a mroocheck in my Amiga and it works just fine with the original driver.

    DiscreetFX is willing to provide a free Mediator to the MorphOS team if they are interested in creating a version that works with it. We have the Amiga 4000 Desktop version of the Mediator.

    This would be fantastic!

    Could this be solution? As I said on that suggestions-topic earlier maybe achievements in OpenPCI, "existing" Mediator HAL for MorphOS 0.x and attempts on Mediator's Linux-support can give some bases for this project. Now throw in this DiscreetFX's idea... :-)

    I hope that right people are reading this topic! Getting MorphOS running on my HW (Mediator 4000) would be extremely cool!

    Hmm, it would be very interesting to hear Elbox's answer to this, since the Mediator is their hardware. I hope thy will see this as an opportunity to sell a few more Mediators ... :-)
    MorphOS is Amiga done right! :-)
    MorphOS NG will be AROS done right! :-)

    Heck yeah! I would pull out my A3000 from storage and fire it back up again to try out MOS on it if a version supporting mediator was released. As of now I cant even try it since the only video I use is a Voodoo III card.

    AFAIK, The MOS Team released MOS1.4.5 for the classic "as-is" and doesn't plan to work more on it unless enough donations are done.

    They didn't release it before because they were unsure of it being a good idea because there are thousands of different configurations and cards to support.

    The best way we can ask support is making donations.

    Do you mean their general PowerUp donation button or the MZ bounties?

    The problem I do see with the former is that we don't know their threshold - how much would they consider enough for their motivation? (Not to mention the hesitation Amiga users got regarding any kind of prepayment.)

    Therefore I'd more specifically suggest to make use of the MZ bounty program instead. I.e. checking the technical possibility of adding the wanted feature, writing a bounty description and asking the MorphOS team for an amount of money to reach as a minimum.
