Hi
Hyperion (German) had announced new Open Source PPCBoot BIOS with X86 Emulator. This new BIOS is for AmigaOne PowerPC based motherboard.

http://www.amigart.com

http://ppcboot.sourceforge.net

The X86 emulator enable the AmigaOne motherboard to use ordinary Nvidia graphic card for PC, not the special Nvidia graphic card for PowerPC.

Hyperion is also the creator of the new AmigaOS 4.0 Operating System. Using this new BIOS (with X86 emulator), is it possible to port Nvidia device driver to AmigaOS?

Thanks.

HAHAHA, I just finally gave up on salvaging my A500...I took as many pictures off of it I could using a null modem with hyperterminal, but some were corrupted...

I was a big Newtek user back then (DigiPaint/View), before anyone even knew who Newtek was! ah memories...
