Only one RTG graphics card for A1200?

[whitebird]

Hello,

Except the BlizzardVision PPC, I haven't found any graphics card for the A1200. There are lot of products which are Scandoublers, Flickerfixers but no RTG. I was asking myself if the reason was people prefer connecting a fast processor board to the expansion connector and because of that there was no serious market for graphics cards.

Presumably you mean for a desktop A1200?

You can fit a bus-board, PCI (Elbox Mediator 1200LT4, Phase 5 G-Rex 1200) or Zorro (e.g. Micronik 1200-Z3i, Elbox Zorro IV) and use pretty much all big-box Amiga RTG graphics cards.

There are also Zorro expansions for the A1200, which open up more possibilities.

Then again, get a big box machine if you want to expand it. The A1200 is at its best as a wedge machine in my opinion.

I just hope Cyclone 5 FPGA accelerator for A1200 will be successfully done and will contain also RTG (Picasso2?).

Your link is to the wrong thread but I share your sentiment.

As Samurai_Crow said, that is the wrong thread. This is the right thread.

But the development being the former Natami team I wouldn't hold your breath for a commercial product (however I believe that Majesta, who has a proven track record and producing commerical products has joined them)

alexh, yes I mean graphics card that connect directly to the expansion connector, not through a gateway of any kind.
