As it is the only way to get a new graphics chipset that's Amiga compatible is to buy an A1200.


Well, unless you can find the "AGA go Kit" for A500.  I believe there where working prototypes.

Oh and of couse AGA and PPC for A500!!

A3000D (16mhz, 2MB Chip, 4MB Fast, SCSI (300+MB), SuperGen Genlock, Kick 3.1)
Back in my day, we didn\'t have water. We only had Oxygen and Hydrogen, and we\'d just have to shove them together.

Did any of these PPC + AGA boards for the A500 work, or was it just a concept board that never got finished?


From what I've hard DCE actually protyped the "AGA-Go Kit" and it actually functioned, so it's not just a mock up.  (you can see in the picture it has an A1200 style slot as well and hence the PPC plugged in)

How many were made or where they ended up I don't know.  But the word was that it wasn't released as it would have cost more than an actual A1200.

AGA and PPC A500, that would be something to behold.  The only thing cooler would be that thing plugged into an A1000.  ;-)
