?? So Genesi has access to developer material etc.?
@Hans
Donating in USD or Euro would be better for most people I think, at least I had no idea about the exchange rate for NZD.
Just made a small donation.

| It could be possible that this Hans might have signed a NDA with ATI, and perhaps even having AMD/ATI considering leave RadeonHD drivers to the Open Source market for porting it to OpenGL-systems like the new AmigaOS 4.1

I expect more constructive comments from AW moderators, not trolling. Please go back and rethink your rude comment.

Seriously, it was a valid question. What does the page you linked to have to do with the news item you posted it as a comment to?
If there IS a logical link here, I for one do not see it. So any help from you in understanding what you meant by that comment would be nice.

This weeks pet peeve:
Using "voltage" instead of "potential", which leads to inventing new words like "amperage" instead of "current" (I, measured in A) or possible "charge" (amperehours, Ah or Coulomb, C). Sometimes I don't even know what people mean.

| Perhaps I over reacted, sorry zerohero. I will assume this is a cultural difference between Europe and North America, where business is operated differently.

| Yeah understanding between people is the best!
I can say about the Radeon graphics cards for future Amigas maybe that in mine that is the Amiga One I changed the graphics card months ago and I don't want to change more because my items are so new and I think a 128 MB card is so far enough for an Amiga One.

I fail to see any trolling in Zerohero's question, and nothing rude in it.

| Wow. I certainly had a nice surprise in my inbox this morning. Thank you for your support everyone.
@nikosidis
The Picasso96 material is under NDA, so open-source is not possible. However, AMD released source-code and documentation, so anyone who wants to write a driver can take the open-source Linux driver as a starting point. The Linux driver is BSD so it can be used in both open and closed source projects.
@Troels
I did think about currencies, but then we could end up with paying double currency conversion fees; once for conversion from the source currency to say USD, and then again for a conversion from USD to NZD. There wasn't an option to let people choose their own currency, which is what I would have preferred.
There's a currency conversion tool here which I use often. Basically $1NZD is equal to approximately:
- $0.65 US
- 0.46 Euro
- $0.80 AU
- $0.71 CA
The NZD is worth less than all of these currencies. Use the currency conversion tool here if you wish to know how many NZD to enter for a donation from your own currency.
