Not sure we are on the same page. The Apollo Team is currently implementing AGA as part of the Vampire Card for A500 and A600. This means that Vampire equipped A500s and A600s will not only have a superfast 68080 processor, RTG capabilities, 128 MB of lightning fast RAM and some more but will soon also have AGA capabilities. In one early test core this AGA add-on was running in AGA mode right from power-up which made us find out that this is not the way of doing it.
It seemed to be an interesting bit of information that even the very system itself cannot deal with that thus showing a messed up early startup Screen which is why I wanted to share this.
