Hmmm... I think I'll just make an A2000 video card myself...

I like when people do things because there's no good reason not to. This guy decided to make his own Zorro II video card:

Good read, I like stories like that.

I hope someone with skills helps him iron out the bugs so we can enjoy fruits of his work.

Very cool stuff. I thought about doing something like that once too. It was easier too but never completed past mock up boards in a CAD application.

FPGA would be a lot easier today. Lots of potential with them as many have seen.

Indeed, a really nice reading and an impressive work done. A new GFX Vampire has born?

Sad that it's crippled by ZorroII "speed".

Is this card free from the shackles of picasso 96 ?

I think it's been made using a reverse engineered Picasso96 driver. Still, lets hope he releases it.

So, this is an Amiga FPGA Adpapter board, which can function as a Gfx-Board...
but, surely, one could use it as an USB header or SD-Card Reader as well...
providing one does the programming, right? Or am I missing something...

Its an FPGA so in theory it can be whatever the board is capable of as long as its programed and the Zorro carrier has the correct lines for it.
