Cool :)

Hopefully the AGA version can be updated in a similar fashion.

Really, an RTG driver for that would be very cool indeed. It's one of the few thing that's still unavailable for machines like the A600.

One can stack 2 Indivision-ECS resulting in 2 independent screens (this feature has allready been announced some time ago), so that is what your are seeing.


Are you sure? I thought that feature required both displays to be at the same resolution and colour depth. That doesn't appear to be the case in the image above.

Amazing, so how fast would 1024x768 be with a 030 CPU if there was P96 drivers?!


I guess that rather depends on how it works (of which I'm not sure). 7MB/s isn't a very fast path into it, but if it stores the chunky frame buffer locally and has the ability to do block copies/fills directly then reasonably well, I imagine. Most Zorro 2 cards have a similar bandwidth limitation and it doesn't stop them being usable.

I really am going to have to get my A600 fixed now, aren't I?

Yes, I seem to recall seeing it on DevCD2.1, too.

-edit-

Actually, I think it's just the application-level SDK, not the driver level.
