What driver packages support BOTH the 7790, as well as the HD4850, for distributed-computing (BOINC) purposes?

Am I out of luck with this endeavor?

HD4xxx series was dropped in Apr2012 driver release.
7790 was release in 1st qtr 2013.

It doesn't look promising

AMD still has newer drivers for the 4000 series. They just no longer have monthly releases. Instead they have a legacy release.

So, it may work, but I would not bet on it.

13.4 beta legacy driver? or maybe 13.1 might be your best chance... but I'm not sure if their "legacy" drivers only support the older cards, probably.... and the regular 13.4 beta and 13.1 probably can't support the 4850?
