Title: Will Amiga GFX cards work with this?
Post by: kvasir on February 25, 2007, 11:09:53 AM

Found this playing around on the web. I was wondering if AmigaOS 3.9+ mediator+ some gfx card could use the required resolutions to do this? I know AGA isn't up to it.

I don't see why it couldn't work, but I expect it would require extensive changes to current RTG software (P96/CGX) or a new one as well as drivers.

I think Voodoo boards can match the resolution and refresh rate, but no zorro 2/3 board would.
It seems a software part is required for this hardware, making it very unlikely to work on amigaOS 3.x.

its a mere screen splitter hence (if, like it seems doesn't requires any software) it should work.

Only problem is the hi resolution required by the GFX card.

If you have to split the same screen onto multiple monitors (nothing to do with a true multi screen (http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/cadgis/products/multidisplay.php)), theres are a lot around.

@Xanxi

actually we don't know if the software is required for the only fine tuning/cenrering or... anyway look for something else wich don't requires a software or ask them directly.
