Interesting, but it looks like folk will need some sort of GFX card for it to be of any use... :(

No different to any version since OS3.1 then ;) You wouldn't like it anyway. It has things scattered all over disk, including the Kickstart ROM...

No chance, I need my RTG card. When I first got it I was using OS3.5 (which was the most up to date version available at the time). I had been using an autoscrolling  PAL Laced1280x1024 16-colour workbench screen, flicker reduced with MagicTV and all running on top of CGX-AGA (you should have this with your BPPC disks) which did some of the things FBlit did. As it happens, that was quite a reasonable setup.

However, just 2 minutes of the same resolution at running in 16-bit at 85Hz was more than enough to make me realise I'd expanded the machine past a certain point of no return.

Incidentally, I wouldn't recommend the GUI settings in those screenshots for a Permedia2 card at any rate. Having such a slow fill rate, it doesn't do the compositing thing very well.
