@roondar - nope. AGA is 32b chipset EXCEPT blitter which is inside Alice and still 16bit wide (just like Alice memory interface). That's also a reason why with even slightly improved A1200 blitter itself was becoming obsolete as it was pretty hard to use it efficiently in conjunction with fast, fully 32b CPU. It was just easier to leave it out and save those DMA slots. As the blitter was a workhorse for OCS/ECS effects and amazing performance and was in decline in AGA it just meant good ideas by using "co-processors" in chipset were running out at that time.
