    Geennaam comment on amiga-news.de:
    Tested Linux distributions are all booting and running from NVMe. I also have experience with NVMe drivers, so consider this covered for OS4 and MorphOS as well.

    Alright, so USB3 (USB 3.2 specifically) yet to assign then, I guess.

    MorphOS developer and Porter Cowcat brought us OpenMOHAA. Lets see if it runs on the Mirari Proto board.

    ^ Many thanks for completing my request on my bday :) It sure loads much faster and the gameplay is 100% smooth compared to my system (especially when entering large sceneries and battling many enemies). How did you get the fps values on the down left side, so I can do a direct comparison? Overal seems a nice improvement compared to what I have available right now as my main computer at home. I think final test on 3D capabilities should be Doom 3, which along with OpenMohaa are the heaviest software pieces we have to compare.

    In this I believe @geennaam, that he succeeds also with USB3 drivers. And if not, we can use USB3 with linux - the same way like I do it with my X1000. And USB3.0 is enough for Mirari:

    Used chip ( if I read it correctly from photos ) has four USB3.0 ports and is connected to PCIe v2.0 line.
    Mirari with CPU T1024 has all SEDRES lines with speed of PCIe v2.0, it means speeds only upto USB 3.0.

    Only way howto use USB 3.1 is to have Mirari with T2081 CPU and put USB 3.1(or 3.2) PCIe card to x4 connector.
    T2081 CPU in Mirari configuration ( see possible SERDES mapping of CPU ) has one PCIe 3.0 line, connected to this slot. And if there is only one PCIe link, you cannot use USB3.2 speed, which needs two lines. Thus every USB3.2 device will work max in 3.1 mode.

    You're correct. I once knew but unfortunately forgot that "USB 3.2 Gen 1" is just a new fancy name for the old 5 Gbit/s USB 3.0 (and "USB 3.2 Gen 2×1" a new name for 10 Gbit/s USB 3.1, and only "USB 3.2 Gen 2×2" the real 20 Gbit/s USB 3.2). Thanks for reminding me.

    > PCIe v2.0 [...] means speeds only upto USB 3.0.

    ...or USB 3.2 Gen 1 ;-)
