RTG with Stock 68000 - Possible?

[dougal]

I just bought a Picasso II 2MB which hopefully i will receive soon for my A2000.

Currently it has the stock 68000 7.09Mhz CPU & a GVP Impact HC +8 with 8MB of fast ram and a 1GB SCSI drive. I also have 1MB Chip ram and Kickstart 3.1.

I should soon also be getting an A2630 68030@25mhz accelerator with 2MB ram.

I expect the Picasso II to arrive quite a while before the A2630.

So while waiting for the A2630, would I still be able to install, setup and use the Picasso II and still see a HUGE improvement in colors, resolutions and speed while still on the stock 68000 7mhz CPU?

Also, am i right in saying that I will have to configure my HC +8 to 6MB instead of 8MB to allow the Picasso II to work properly?

Cool so I can use the old version of P96 till I get the 68030 :-)

Any links where I can download the old version or at least what version is recommended ?

Not Picasso96 but Picasso is the name. http://amiga.resource.cx/install/PicassoII-24.dms
or http://www.l8r.net/install/video.html (driver + extras) - can't see which one is newer.
...ok, seems that my version was 2.4.

Thanks! That will have to do for now till the CPU is upped to an 030.

Will it still work like Picasso96 as in with the same RTG resolutions ?
