Default Amiga OS4 & Nvidia Geforce/
Ok I sure this has been discussed already, but I have been looking at these PCI boards. And I have a GeForce FX5500 pci card in a Pentium 3 pc I gave to my wife. How hard would it be to adapt such a card to one of these Amigas? Is it only an issue of someone writng a driver for OS 3.9/4.0? Or is it more complicated than that?

How nice it would be to have new NVDIA or ATI running flawlessly on an Amiga OS. :-D

It should just be a driver issue, but nVidia won't release documentation to developers so the task is made incredibly difficult. Even the Linux guys haven't been able to create one. If I'm not mistaken, they have to use a restricted closed-source driver that nVidia has "kindly" provided.
