What is SAGE

[utri007]

Standard Amiga Graphics Environment, it is supported by Vivid24 http://www.amiga-resistance.info/bboahfaq/index.php?action=artikel&cat=56&id=2379&artlang=de and DMI Resolver http://www.bboah.com/index.php?sid=84219&lang=en&action=artikel&cat=57&id=2416&artlang=en. Google doesn't tell much about it.

Google tells this: We are the manufacturers of the DMI Resolver, a
high resolution graphics processor for the Amiga. It is based on a 60MHz
Texas Instruments 34010 graphics chip. We (in conjunction with Progressive
Peripherals) are the authors of SAGE (Standard Amiga Graphics Environment), a
retargetable graphics system for the Amiga.


Does somebody has more info? Is it possible to use it display Workbench etc? How powerfull vivid24 is compared to other that time adapters?

SAGE was one of the first, if not the first, Amiga RTG standart. It never caught grip on the userbase though, and perished into obscurity.

Its specs and drivers are on Aminet

SAGE Computer Technology ..?

Can't find it aminet? Search of Standard Amiga Graphics Environment gives zero results

It was like a zillion years ago, I cant remember exactly, but I seem to recall I download it from over there. I am sorry, my braincells are not that good anymore

Sage was more like a library with a huge set of functions that mainly supported gfx cards based on the TMS3xxxx chipset.

I remember the Harlequin, Rembrandt, Resolver, Impact Vision 24 and Opalvision were supported.
