On german Ebay (http://cgi.benl.ebay.be/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2780340688&category=8142) there is a Retina Z2 gfx card for sale, but can anyone tell yhich soft you need to get it working ?? It seems that Cybergfx and Picasso96 won´t do it ...

You'll need the Retina software, available at www.l8r.net in the installers section. I also remember seeing something about Retina Z2 support in an upcoming CGX release (4.4???).

*me has a Retina,
It has it's own software RetinaEmu, which is NOT CGX compatible, but it does do a pretty decent AGA emulation, especially if you have 2meg chip.

I would guess it would depend on what machine
you are going to put it in.
Its a Z-2 card so will work in any A2, A3 or A4000.
But if you are going to use it in an A3 or 4000,
I would probably look for a better card.
I have an A3k and had a Retina Z-2 card.
I now have a Cybervision64 card and I like it
much better.

The best thing about the RetinaZ2 is that you can pull the RAM off the card and stuff it into your A3000 as Fast-RAM (most of those cards are bought for this reason today).
The RetinaEmu isn`t bad (had a RetinaZ2 for a short time myselfe) but since it isn`t CGX/P96 compatibel I wouldn`t suggest it for serious use today.
It`s a nice enough card for a toyaround system but not if you are really useing that Amiga.

IamgeFX, Aladdin 4D support it, I'm pretty sure Lightwave supports it too, and it has tight 8bit AGA handling...

think it was sold for 11,50 euro excl. porto ...
