It makes no sense to post bugs to usenet as we may !!! !!! miss them, may cause misperceptions to normal users and !!! !!! may cause unnecessary mud slinging and flame wars. !!! !!! !!! !!! And a last word.... !!! !!! This product is very complex. It has to emulate the 68k, !!! !!! provide a new PPC/68k interface, several native drivers !!! !!! and has to handle all kinds of unknown hardware and !!! !!! software which may have all kinds of sideeffects, may !!! !!! contain hidden bugs and we aren`t perfect either. !!! !!! So don`t expect miracles about handling all your prefered !!! !!! hardware and software combinations. !!! !!! !!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *** Please notify us about HW driver problems *** use emultools/identify/* to make a dump of your system. ################################################################################################ Supported Hardware: Motherboards: o A4000 o A4000t o A3000(t) o A1200 PPC Cards: o CyberstormPPC is in BETA state o BlizzardPPC is in ALPHA state Ram: o max. 128MB (The BlizzardPPC HW supports 256MB but it`s not yet supported) Gfxcards: o CVisionPPC o BVisionPPC o CyberVision64 o CyberVision3d o Retina Z3 o Picollo64 o Spectrum o Picasso2 o Picasso4 only through CyberGraphX 5.
