For a 2000 a nice Picasso II or Spectrum are decent budget choices.  Never ran them on a 68k system though.

The P96 software requires at least a 68020. It does not run on a plain 68000.

A full 32bit '020 as well if memory serves correctly (ie. won't work with 68ec020).
I think we're all a bit bored here by the way. Original post was years ago and his questions well and truly answered.

HAM8 icons work just fine.

I'm another one using FBlit on AGA/Indivison and finds that 256 colours is too slow and memory consuming. 64 colours is optimum for me on OS3.9. There is no colour benefit to Newicons if you increase to 128 colours it seems also.

Add PeterK's icon.library and it will be faster.  Newicons i thought were 32 colors?
