Title: Commodore and eCS?
Post by: BigWarpGuy on 2010.03.19, 15:33:20
According to a ComputerWorld article, Commodore is making a 'retro' pc. It has a similar design as the older ones they made but with new technology. Could one install eComStation on it?  ???

Hi BigWarpGuy

As it seems to be based on Intel 64bit quadcore CPUs there is a good chance of installing eCS on it - unless AHCI is needed in which case you would have to wait until the danis506.add driver is updated to support AHCI.

Regards

About the danis506 driver - it has support for the AHCI mode on selected chipsets already. Maybe it wont work on latest chipsets but i had successful attempts with via and intel chipsets.

What version of the danis driver are you using for ACHI support?

Was working with 1.7.10 and 1.8.x line of the driver.
