If there was 3.5/3.9 ROM chip with BVision support in boot menu it could have been much much better... dont you hate it when it stops booting and you dont have TV near?
The BlizzardPPC had a feature that would constantly copy the current screen from chip ram to BVision ram. It would be enabled if something was displayed during the boot process and disabled as soon as the first non PAL:Hires screen was opened. Display wasn't all that fast, but fast enough for BVision setup, ESM, or booting without startup-sequence.
Sometimes I was thinking my Amiga 1200 was better without those stupid complex expansions.
Yeah, a highly expanded A1200 is a major PITA if you're trying to get some real use out of it.
