Chapter 5. Working Hardware And Drivers

When I get reports of hardware configurations that are known to work with Linux/APUS I put them in this section. You can match these against your own configuration to get an idea of whether Linux/APUS will work on your box.

In comments are listed the people who reported the information - if you have information about a driver currently not on this list (or conflicting information) please let me know.

CyberStorm/PPC and Blizzard/PPC boards:

• A4000/o3o with CyberStorm/PPC PPC604@150MHz (Jesper Skov).

• A4000/o4o with CyberStorm/PPC PPC604@200MHz (Jeffrey W. Davis).

• A4000/??? with CyberStorm/PPC PPC604@233MHz (Jens K. Jensen).

• A1200 with Blizzard/PPC PPC603p@160MHz (Jouko Pynnonen, Sven Luther).

• A3000T with CyberStorm/PPC PPC604@233MHz (Francisco Sepulveda).

Device Drivers:

• DISPLAY : AGA display. (Jesper Skov)

• DISPLAY : CyberVision(/3D). (Sven Ottemann/Jimmy)

• DISPLAY : Picasso II Clgen. (Francisco Sepulveda)

• FLOPPY : Amiga floppy disk controller. (Sven Ottemann)

• SCSI : A3000/T SCSI controller. [1] (Thomas Haller/Arno Griffioen)

  [1] You have to disable DMA to get the A3000 SCSI driver working. Add "wd33c93=nodma:1" to your kernel options.

• SCSI : Oktagon 2008 SCSI. (Carsten Pluntke)

• SCSI : A4091/4000T SCSI controller. [2] (Ken Tyler)

  [2] You have to disable the use of BATs to map main memory. Add "nobats" to your kernel options.

• SCSI : Blizzard/PPC SCSI controller.[3] (Sven Luther)

  [3] You have to disable the use of BATs to map main memory. Add "nobats" to your kernel options.

• SOUND : Amiga DMA sound. (Carsten Plunkte)
