It's great for the developers and 5 beta testers that they are making progress. But it doesn't really change the situation for the 8 people who are waiting to buy it.
Obviously it can be a time consuming task to get new drivers working under PPC Amiga OS'es .
Consider that theTabor ethernet driver is the first working Freescale SOC based ethernet hardware under Amigaoid Oses for newer SOC's. Neither AmigaOS 4.1FE update 1nor Morphos 3.10 have a released onboard ethernet driver for the X5000 . Morphos Sam460ex ethernet driver has never worked for me so there could be issues in the driver.
Morphos does not yet support sound cards behind a pcie to pci bridge chip so pciex1 sound cards don't work on the Sam460ex or Sam460cr under MorphOS . Morphos 3.8 Sam460ex/cr support released from May 15, 2015 so heading for 3 years now. New option relased with MorphOS 3.10 is USB sound so an alternate option now available .

Now that they have an OS4 network driver for the P1022, writing a driver for the P5020 should be easier. But like the X1000, the X5000 doesn't require support for the onboard NIC because it has more than one expansion slot.
And until the release of MorphOS3.10 and the introduction of a CMI8738 driver, I don't think there were any PCIe sound cards supported under MorphOS.
Besides, if you use the onboard SATA ports, the PCIe X1 slot is disabled on a SAM460. You always had the option of using the PCI slot for sound, but if you wanted to use an SATA card...well this system does have limited expansion capabilities.
