The AGA-version just sees the digital output of Lisa + a few "holes" in the chipset to which it can be reprogrammed.

The ECS-Version allmost completly replaces Denice in FPGA makeing all those things possible.

Read the ECS-version is the more advanced one.


But then, you can allready run the AGA-version in resolutions up to 1280x1024 in 256 colors or HAM8. These modes are available for every OS-friendly app, while the 12Bit-modes on the ECS-Indi are only supported by SW written for it ..... unless you plan to write/port an RTG-system to it ...

@LoadWB

One can stack 2 Indivision-ECS resulting in 2 independent screens (this feature has allready been announced some time ago), so that is what your are seeing.

@Karlos/Lockon_15
Yeah, my bad.

@cv643d

There is no HW-accelaration and no direkt memory-mapping, so I'd say rather slow. One might get away with a better CPU but aslong as they don't atleast include some sort of blitter it won't be really suitable. On might get better results with http://aminet.net/package/driver/video/a2410src ......

Mind you, that might even be used as a staring point for eveloping a WB-EMU as getting an DDK for P96 or CGX seems to be impossible these days.
