SAGA is the graphics architecture developed by the Apollo team. It will provide new screen modes and other features for Vampire 2 equipped Amigas via the digital video output connector on the Vampire 2. To take advantage of these new features suitable drivers/software such as a P96 driver will be needed.

SAGA? Super AGA ?

Are there still any reasons left to wait for an A1200  version?
A1200+Vampire2 will have some small advantages. Full keyboard, easy installation in trapdoor (clipping a board on top of the A600 CPU is the only way to accelerate it and it's hardly an ideal way to upgrade a computer) allowing quick access to the microSD card slot. Rear expansion allows Vampire video to be got from the Amiga 1200 without modifying the motherboard or case with a suitable back door. The V1200 design isn't out yet so it may have improvements over the V600.

Apolla team are negotiating with the Picasso96 guys, as soon as an agreement is reached the outcome will be disclosed. This should be very soon.

Sorry I don't know when full SAGA will be available. I think you are correct that it will take over on power up but I can't swear to it.
