General Haiku Discussion

Hello...

I am curious if the GeForce 6150 and nForce 430 chipsets are natively supported in Haiku yet? I am looking into buying an AMD mobo for a new computer and I want the new PC to fully support Haiku. With that I am hoping there are native Nvidia drivers and not the VESA driver. I want at least 2D acceleration (preferably 3D as well) and the nForce support so I can use audio.

Hey...

Any possibility of including a VM additions package in Haiku so that we can use features like Unity and Shared Folders? I would also like support of the VMware or VirtualBox display drivers so I can have dynamically resized desktops and such. Thanks!

Are there any plans in the works for Haiku to support SCSI? I would like to have the opportunity to install Haiku on my current BeOS configured system which I have been using since 2001, however unlike BeOS 5.1d0, Haiku does not support U160 SCSI drives, and I cannot borrow the aic78xx SCSI driver from Dano as I have done previously for installs of BeOS R5.

I had expected to see the news of the Haiku Alpha 1 release on the Distrowatch, one of the focal point of Linux, BSD, and even solaris users, to increase publicity and attract potential developers to fuel the impetus to leapfrog.

Haiku is not Linux, (of course!), nor Unix. This was what I would have thought why not on DW, had I not seen many of the Linux (or opensource) events Haiku is used to take part in.

Please take this as a chance to distinguish if there is subtlety, to let people better understand Haiku.
