Matay news
Warp3D Treiber for Voodoo3
Matay informs that the promised Warp3D drivers for Voodoo3 graphics cards on the
PCI board Prometheus are in the works and has put some screenshots online.
PPC for Prometheus
As many people ask about CPU boards for the PCI board Prometheus, Matay
gives the following statement:
- Matay is not going to produce the PPC card by itself. We will choose
among the CPU solutions available at the market (not necessarily
"Amiga native" only). It would take too much time and concern to
produce such a card, time we can spend providing you with other
Amiga-specifict products. Why to invent wheel again?
- The only problem to solve is software support to make the hardware
cooperate with our PCI bridge. However, with the help of AmigaOS4
developers from Amiga Inc. it is not a problem at all. We will
cooperate with them to make Prometheus+CPU card combo 100% compatible
with the upcoming AmigaOS.
- We are not limiting our support to one CPU card only. You should view
a CPU card expansion the same as - for example - a graphics card expansion.
More than one solution is possible.
- The details will be announced after we finish talks with the CPU cards
manufacturers. As we always state - no promises, only facts, so please
be patient. In meanwhile, you can use Prometheus boards with the
existing Amiga CPU cards. The software, i.e. AmigaOS4, will arrive later
this year, so will our hardware to run it on.
