@Delta, probably 2D works ok but hardware acceleration support doesn't yet (Warp3D).

@weirdami: I don't think VideoToaster would work, if it makes accesses to the custom hardware of classic Amigas.

I would also like to see VE software and FireWire drivers of course

@amiga2000: use the serial number when registering your product on Hyperion's website.

@strobe: I think many have. Some people have had problems but good feedback overally. I have heard that compatibility got better, network faster, people have got DMA enabled, GX kernel bug fixed etc etc etc.
