Matzes a1k.org Graphics Adapter...

Why is it every time someone want to improve and give great hardware the developers of an outdated system cry foul? When was the last time P96 was even updated, I think the last version was released in like the late 90's? People don't release new cards for Amiga because of this stupid crap. Open up a damn donation site and start allowing others to pay them. Its that simple. If they write an update, charge for it. How hard is that to understand?

We have so many examples of people wanting to pay for software and new hardware on the Amiga platforms and just as many examples of developers not allowing for a way to pay them or worse yet they ignore customers wanting to pay.

Legally, nothing has to be done. Anyone who wants can legally develop drivers without using the original DDK and distribute them as they see fit. An effort could be put into making a third party open and available DDK for P96, based on studying and reverse engineering existing drivers, and legally there is nothing the original authors can do about it (though I would love to see them try.)

This is exactly what ends up happening. People want something, are willing to invest money into it and yet the developers don't care. In the end they will make it work without them and a good opportunity for the developers is wasted.

I would put money towards seeing P96 revived and developed for newer hardware and more features.

OK, after returning from almost 1 month of business travel, and reading this thread, I jumped in the wagon and bought my own Matzes a1k.org Graphics Adapter.

So question, and I should have asked this before my purchase: Do I need any additional accesory(ies) to install the card in my A3000D, w/A3640? My video/gfx Zorro slot (the very top one in my setup) is free since I don't have any gfx card at this moment.

Also post #8 and #9 in this thread have the link for the monitor file you use. Be sure to rename the files and edit the icon info as well as mentioned in post 8.
