Are there any further plans to release new PPC and/or graphics boards for A1200/4000? Or maybe even resumption of the classic Amiga line?

Yes, and with Radeon one could assume even better performance and graphics ram.

Is it just me being a dummy, but how do you get a Radeon GFX board to work on a Classic Amiga... :confused:

With an Elbox Mediator PCI busboard or Prometheus PCI busboard.

A PCI Radeon graphics card, as publically mentioned by Hyperion at Amiwest, is planned to be supported for OS 4.1 classic machines.

Currently the best graphics card for OS 4.0 classic would be the Voodoo series, the 3, or 4, which max out at 32MB video ram.   A Radeon would allow upto 128MB of graphics memory and faster internal operations vs. the Voodoo cards on the classic machines running OS 4.1.

I've been so obsessed with trying to find a BVision card that I totally forgot about the Mediator, although I'm not sure if Elbox are still in business as I haven't seen their site updated in years.

Anyone use a mediator on an A1200, and if so how good is it...
