Can of worms - Classic Amiga Expansion

[NovaCoder]

It's a good idea.

If someone was going to do it, then you'd just go for an FPGA reimplementation, why bother with old PC graphics chips.

You could make a pretty nice card, memory is very fast and cheap these days so you should be able to make something much better than the old stuff.

Why go for P96 though?   CyberGFX has a much better than nasty old P96.

When you say "old", the latest version of P96 was released in 2011.  I thought CGX stopped development sometime back in the late '90s.  So shouldn't that technically be the other way around?  Also P96 is free.  
 
 Or maybe I just don't know what I'm talking about, feel free to enlighten, LOL.  :biglaugh:

P96 smells bad and is also know to drink heavily.

The CyberGFX API is much sexier than P96 which only seems to patch OS functions (as far as I know).

More seriously, is CyberGFX available for free anywhere, these days?  Not that I have much experience with Amiga graphics libraries, but I have a vague recollection that V3 was released for free sometime back in the mid-'90s, but V4 was still an impossible-to-find commercial release (also dating from sometime in the '90s)?  P96 is the only one still being updated?

Unfortunately I don't know much about the history, I'm just looking at it from a Coder's point-of-view.

This is what you can do with CyberGFX

Anyway to get back on topic, an FPGA based RTG card for Classics would be very cool
