Three words: (ok, acronyms) RTG, RTG, RTG.


I've been trying to get hold of a BVision board for years now, but without any luck. The last one I saw on ebay was described as faulty and the guy wanted £150 for it. I don't mind paying silly money to get hold of one but the things are so difficult to find. :(

Anyone got a BVision for sale, willing to pay a good price for it... :)

You could also look for a Mediator1200 and find an old Voodoo 3 card.

No need to 'hack' anything up. You can probably just AddMem unsupported RAM to the memory pool - but it'll be sloooooowwww...

(I assume there's currently no AddMem tool for 4.x but it can't be hard to do, as long as 68k RAM is also visible to PPC. Probably the smartest way would be to use virtual memory and swap to the slow RAM.)
