Amiga history: EGS rtg system infos?
« on: February 01, 2004, 08:35:20 PM »
Hi.
I'm learning a bit about the Amiga history graphic user interface.
I met the so called "EGS" system but I have no idea what it was looking like.
I think was more than a driver system like Picasso96. I'm wrong?

Do you know if I can try it with the WinUAE box (tried  with the aminet installation files but not success...).

Do you know any place on the net with some screenshot and a description of the interfaces solutions?

Anyone have tried it? How was the feeling using it?

Thx!

Idon;t know much, but I think it was an early RTG system, like P96 or CGX, as you said. It only worked on a few cards (like P96 only worked with the Picasso cards initially) but unlike P96, was never really developed to support more cards. I think its most important feature was an AGA emulation. VGR has a pretty good info page. I think the software's freely available, so you can try it if you have a supported card.

I have the ECS version of EGS for my old Amiga500 :-D
