Video slot or ZII slot for video card
« on: April 01, 2017, 10:20:35 PM »
So, I'm looking at a Retina ZII video card which, obviously, fits in a Zorro II slot and I got to wondering which would be better, the ZII slot or the dedicated video slot on an Amiga 2000?

I'm running an A2000 with a Fusion40, rev 6.2 mobo, OS 3.9 with 2MB chip RAM and 39MB other RAM.

Comments please.

Actually, I was wondering what the differences were between a video card designed for the Zorro slots and one designed for the video slot.

@ mechy:  I would love to get my paws on a Picasso, but no one seems to want to part with them!

As far as a1k.org, my German is pretty rusty!

Those look nice, but ouch!  They're a little expensive.  Will have to save up for them.

BTW, what's with the "break-off" corner on the kryo card?
