I wonder if we will get clarification from Amiga Inc tomorrow :-?

Am I dreaming?

How many Classic PPC users are out there?

At last! Now all i want to hear is a reasonable price. I've heard some rumors about at least 100 euros. Let's hope that they are just rumors


@nautilus
 There was a poll about this recently. If you search you will find a link.

Me ME ME!!! Jeez... finally, I feel like asking if I am dreaming too. Mental note to not get my hopes up... gotta prevent my fingers from tripple hitting the submit button on the order form (when one becomes available)

Tempting... Makes me want to by a BPPC for my A1200!..

[derringer3]

Can't wait to get one...

Me!! I have 2 PPC cards!
Ready to rock and roll! It's like xmas is coming early!!! Finally all my preparation for this day has proven to not be in vain!!!

I wonder how good it will be though. it appears that there is no support for G-Rex busboards at all. A4000 mediator users might get a usable system, but a1200 ones will get crap as far as I can tell... because there is also no support for the trick that mediator1200 does so it uses the vga vram as DMA buffer (or something like that...)

@keropi

Both Mediator 1200 & 4000 use the DMA trick. It does mean that if you use the native OS4 mediator support, it limits the cards you can use (10mbit realtek card instead of 100mbit for example. Not that the 100mbit card ever went much faster than 10mbit in a mediator anyway).

However, if you want, you can remove the native drivers for the cards in your mediator and still use Elboxes 68k drivers. They even work with the native Picasso96.
