Retina Zorro2 gfx card

On german Ebay there is a Retina Z2 gfx card for sale, but can anyone tell yhich soft you need to get it working ?? It seems that Cybergfx and Picasso96 won´t do it ...

You'll need the Retina software, available at www.l8r.net in the installers section.  I also remember seeing something about Retina Z2 support in an upcoming CGX release (4.4???).

*me has a Retina,

     It has it's own software RetinaEmu, which is NOT CGX compatible, but it does do a pretty decent AGA emulation, especially if you have 2meg chip.

I would guess it would depend on what machine
you are going to put it in.

Its a Z-2 card so will work in any A2, A3 or A4000.
But if you are going to use it in an A3 or 4000,
I would probably look for a better card.
I have an A3k and had a Retina Z-2 card.
I now have a Cybervision64 card and I like it
much better.

The best thing about the RetinaZ2 is that you can pull the RAM off the card and stuff it into your A3000 as Fast-RAM (most of those cards are bought for this reason today).

The RetinaEmu isn`t bad (had a RetinaZ2 for a short time myselfe) but since it isn`t CGX/P96 compatibel I wouldn`t suggest it for serious use today.
It`s a nice enough card for a toyaround system but not if you are really useing that Amiga.

IamgeFX, Aladdin 4D support it, I'm pretty sure Lightwave supports it too, and it has tight 8bit AGA handling...
