Linux patches enable PCI support for the Amiga 4000, three decades after its release.
The Mediator 4000 PCI bridge by Elbox provides five PCI 2.1 compliant slots with a 33MHz clock.
Daniel Palmer developed a PCI driver for the Amiga 4000, now under review for the Linux kernel.
The driver faces challenges with DMA between normal memory and PCI cards, currently using a bounce buffer.
Network cards work, but issues persist with graphics cards like Voodoo 3000 and Radeon 9250 on non-x86 machines.
