[MiNT] Eclipse PCI support for 060

[Paweł Góralski <nokturnal@nokturnal.pl>]

Hello,
If we are in the PCI topic.. I have a piece of hardware called Eclipse. I
would like to use it ( ;) ). Anyone has some information about how to
access it? It would be nice to add support for this interface in XBIOS
calls?

I'm trying to contact the author of PCI bios(Sven Karlsson) indirectly
through Johan Klockars and I'm not sure if there is any chance to make the
Eclipse pcibios sources public (no answer yes/no atm).

There are two problems with this interface:
1) it doesn't run with 060
2) it isn't very usable with anything other than ati rage cardsII
3) no hardware documentation at all

It would be nice to change this state and add support for other devices
(ethernet cards for example). I know that there will be CTPCI (which WILL
be better, faster etc..), but I have the hardware and I would like to use
it with 060.

Anyone can help?

Regards,
