It is not very nice for the owners of A500/1000/2000 and CDTV. Anyway, It's an interesting hardware upgrade. This will free up space in my 2000. |

But simplified : in our tests, faster than any existing 68k also faster than 68060. Quote:
You have to start with one card, we start with A500/A2000/A1000/CDTV, the toher will follow. |

What are the recognized microprocessors (020, 030, 040, 060)? I have a Blizzard 060.

I will patiently wait for videos of card in action. As I understood from previous cases, HW is just a minor part of fun. Until then, fingers crossed

The most exciting part is the integrated RTG, AGA is a big bottle neck.
Which card will the RTG part emulate? |

I just hope that this board doesnt suffer the post-Natami syndrome.
