[UserReview] Vampire V2-128 received and it's just pure p0rn.

And you have the specifications of SAGA or did you just make things up and assume ?

Serisouly? You just arrived to the party or what?

I am talking about SAGA - aka "Super AGA":

Normally, when something is "super bla" it means that is is a superset of "bla", and hence also can do whatever "bla" can do. Compatible. And the specifications, even brief hints for what SAGA is aiming for, are _exactly_ what I have been asking about.

"Considering this is a hobby project where cards are being assembled by a couple of people"
exactly , this is big pain-problem Amiga computer !!

like I remember from half 90 years  non-stop is the same problem , hobby project and wait wait wait for nothing

ppc shark vel sonnet crescendo 7200  super great card ,  but where are this card for buy ? :-)

the same problem for twenty year

and this is main reason why Amiga died

always have to wait for nothing

vampire should be now get for big production ! for many waiting people for that hardware

I would take one as a build it yourself project if that would cut down on the wait time..

400Mb/s is approaching !

Yes I can, and you can too. There are even HAM6 and HAM8 icon sets around, and arexx scripts to generate HAM6 and HAM8 icons from images. It was also quite common back in the days to use HAM8 display for IBrowse and AWeb, with HAM8 capable datatypes for images.

Please stop making your own history. HAM8 modes are/were quite slow, and it was far from (quite) common to use them for anything else than showing images.

seems memory access is getting at how fast it may actually become theoretically. great.

They are not really much slower than 8 bit plane modes, and I am not making up history, I used it myself on the A1200/060 and it certainly was not unheard of. What is really slow is decoding of jpegs.

If i'm not mistaken shapeshifter (with proper driver) can use the HAM modes to emulate 16bit color MAC, and it was not that bad.

If i'm not mistaken shapeshifter (with proper driver) can use the HAM modes to emulate 16bit color MAC, and it was not that bad.

Yes, indeed it could (I even wrote a driver for it), but the mode had its issues - the typical tearing problems HAM causes.  

The reason why that "works" is that you have - within Shapeshifter - a "blue print" of the image you want to render, i.e. basically you double the required RAM for the framebuffer.  

This makes this mode quite unpractical for any serious image processing. As said, its main use was displaying images and "looking nice", but not so much to run any serious image processing or applications on it.

[kolla]

If I recall correctly, it was 15bit Mac display on HAM8 that worked best with Netscape.
