The Picasso IV supports Zorro II.


CV64 3D supports Zorro II. Not sure about the regular CV64

I know I had one in my A2000 with 040/28 and it worked really well...

Not slow at all running workbench in 256 colors.

Ok. Going to expand the A2000 vs. getting an A3000 or A4000. Going to keep it at OS 3.1.

I just grabbed the Phase5 060 on eBay that came w/ a ext SCSI CD-ROM drive and a 9GB SCSI HD all for $540 USD or so. Not too bad, it seems.

Should be fun. Now need a vidcard. I have some leads...

Thanks for all the info.

Congratulations on the 060!

if you run WHDload games for the most part then maybe you should get a Indivision ECS if they are still available. It will probably be of more use to you than a GFX board. It can also do some GFX board like modes, but I don't know all of the details because I don't have an ECS. I'm guessing it can do the same modes as my AGA (1024x768, 1280x768)

check this link...

Also if you later wanted to add a GFX board you could get one without a scandoubler because your VGA output would be compatible with any LCD - unlike old scandoublers which dont look very good (or work at all in PAL) on a modern monitor.
