Title: RTG Board: Merlin II ?
Post by: amiga_3k on December 08, 2006, 11:08:17 PM

Every now and then eBay shows an ad for a Merlin II Amiga GFX board. Now I can find info on the Merlin but Merlin II? Does any of you know about the Merlin II? What's the specs? What are the drawbacks?

I've got a Merlin 4 MB (in A3kD) - it's running fairly well, but I can't actually recommend it (only when it's cheap).
True and High Color resolution is rather limited due to the ET4000W32 design, and there are quite a few design problems since the card was released before the design was completely finished.
There's only a Rev V3.1, AFAIK no other revs exist.
