PowerPC accelerator - how does that work then?

So what you guys are saying that do not waste your money buying a PPC card for the Amiga 1200, that instead the best investment on an Amiga 1200 for an upgrade is either a 68040 or a 68060 and that is that? Are you guys saying that if I wish to go PPC in Amiga that it should be either a SAM or the new Amiga hardware other than that the Amiga 1200 PPC are waste of money and useless?

If using Classic games and software is the key - PPC card is not needed, 060 is cheaper solution. But Natami when out will be the best experience.

Yes, if you want to use OS 4.1 even maxed out A1200 or A4000 with PPC cards is way too slow compared to slowest SAM 440 (however SAM 460 would be recommended). If you want to use MorphOS, proper MacMini G4 is the way.

So, yes to both. Blizzard cards are today very rare and quite overpriced for what they offer.

Oh, you can blame Haage & Partner for that...

Well, since OS 3.9 just couldn`t make that much revenues, they could donate source code. Even today OS 4.1 misses some small features of OS 3.9 and it took significant time to catch up from PPC 3.1 code to all 3.9 features and beyond

For companies staying with Amiga was only waste of time. The market was not growing at all while other platforms were booming.

True, Freescale did it at Apple PPC times, IBM with consoles, but sadly AmigaOS just missed those times (even making OS4 work on a bit older PS3 that allow OS would be like X1000 for everyone alongside great Yellow Dog Linux, but yet they choose Acube/A-EON Alliances)

Nevertheless the market situation is not in our hands. If CUSA is scucessful with their products, good for them. If not, I still dont care.

In my own opinion, if something kills them it will not be angre me: it will be their own stupid strategies, announcements and choices: like one to move Amiga line to "PRO" category and compete with most expensive PCs

I enjoyed MorphOS on my Amiga 1200 with BlizzardPPC and I still enjoy it on my Mac mini, Efika, everything. Even if I consider BPPC/CSPPC ddin't deliver what I expected in 90s.

To me it was like puting ferrari engine in old Fiat 500 ... :-)
But it worked, lived and allowed MOS to develop as well as pathway for decision to make OS4 PPC

Thanks :-)

It is good to serve this small community. Sadly, low number of users goes with slow SW development and weird HW prices and avaliabilities, but we managed to live with it
