If you can find a Blizzard PPC card, it takes a graphics add-on that can be used in a desktop case, with some modifications for extra cooling. Aside from that, you'd need a PCI expansion/tower. Problem with the first option is that it's no longer manufactured, difficult to find, very expensive and might be a flaky setup.



BTW, welcome :pint:

No, not yet, anyhow. There have been a couple of products "in the works", but nothing available ATM.

Have you checked out WinUAE? You can set up a fast, fully functional "virtual" amiga on your PC, compatibile with pretty much all amiga software out there. (Also emulates CyberGraphX.)

 Whats the fun with emulation?

Getting old hardware do things it's creators never chould imagine is what I like


I had a tricked out desktop 1200 at one time, and it WAS fun to browse the net, emulate 68k Macs and play Quake at  decent FPS"s with AGA... but an emulated amiga with roughly the same speed as a 1 GHz 68040 is also kinda fun to play with. :) For myself, it's a both/and as opposed to an either/or kinda thing.
