Since upgrades are rediculously expensive, I am among those without an RTG card of any kind. So I would have to vote on support for at least AGA in your apps.

On a side note, it seems silly to be lacking cheap hardware out there... After all, using a PLD to translate between the Amiga and whatever chip a board needs is a pretty easy thing. Zorro to PLD to SCSI chip... BAM! New SCSI controller. Zorro to PLD to networking chip... BAM! New 10/100 NIC. Hell, even the PCI boards can be made dirt cheap with a PLD and one of QuickLogic's chips.

The hardest part is writing the driver!

A4000D, A3640 OC-36.3MHz, custom tower, Mediator A4000D. Diamond Banshee 16M, Indivision AGA 4000, GVP HC+8.

Mac Mini 1.5GHz, that might run MorphOS someday, when the fools who own it come to the realization that 30 minutes just isn\'t enough time to play with it enough to decide whether or not you like it enough to cough up $200.

 - Someone please design SOME kind of DIY accelerator for the A4000. :D -

I wonder if there is a rehab for those of us who've taken this whole "Amiga thing" a bit too far? :-P


Too far??? Didn't know there was a limit!  :-D
