@kriz
Thanks for that link. I see the Voodoo4 4500 32MB model is in their compatibility list (I only chose that card because I still have one in a box...somewhere). I see that the SB Live and the Hollywood+ DVD decoder card are in development. Thats handy, I have a few of them kicking about too.
@Jope
Unfortunately I wouldnt know where to start on writing drivers
.... could be a project for the future though.
I think I'll be reporting back here a bit while building this machine. I see alot of the bus extenders/accelerators are quite expansive, I'll defenitely be asking around here before I end up buying the wrong thing lol.
Here is something I've been thinking about...Mounting the A1200 board into a tower case when using one of these bus extenders, isn't it difficult getting the PCI slots to line up with the back of the case?
I apologise if my questions appear 'stupid', I am an Amiga noob.
