Hewlett Packard Amiga A1200 graphics chips?
« on: May 09, 2003, 10:14:47 AM »
I took my A1200HD apart yesterday to install an internal flicker-ficker and scan-doubler, which, I might add, works perfectly and is very impressive for what is basically a motherboard hardware hack.

Anyway, to get to the point, I noticed that the Amiga's Lisa graphics chip was made by Hewlett Packard, whereas the Alice graphics chip was made by Amiga Technologies.

I had no idea that HP was ever involved (or contracted) in the making of Amiga components. Did I miss something? Can anyone shed any more light on this?

I'm just curious, that's all!
