I have a CV64/3D in my A2000/060 too.


Exactly the same setup I tried.

The only reason it doesn't get more use is, ZII is dog slow.. :-) When you have many screens open, it becomes very tedious when swapping screens that are not in the GFX card's RAM. Small resolutions are not an option, 1024x768 is the least that will do for me.

And for that very reason my CV64/3D ended up finding a new home in my A3000. Even with the '060 powering it along in the 2000, the graphics were like the machine was running in molasses. The std. '030 in the 3000 powers the graphics along nicely.

Hmm, I would have preferred an A3000 for the z3 slots, unfortunately, I doubt I will ever find one (the guy I purchased the A2000 from also had an A3000 but got rid of it last year).

If he was out in Pascoe Vale, I can tell you where his 3000 ended up.

 Still, an A2000 with a new processor and a cybervision 64 should be enough for what I need to do :-).

To be honest, I really couldn't believe how much it slowed the graphics on my A2k. I was very happy to plug the VGA monitor back into the 2032 and have flicker free ECS modes back. I wouldn't recommend a CV64/3D to any 2000 owner.
Of course, for an A3000 or A4000 it's the bees knees.
