Nebulon Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 (edited) Holy frigg! From what I can tell it's a super-accelerator + 128 MB RAM + IDE controller. Triple the speed of a 68060 is certainly nothing to sneeze at. Nice! http://www.apollo-accelerators.com/files/Apollo_datasheet.pdf http://www.apollo-accelerators.com/#features What's the scoop on the video side of things? Does it just supply more outputs or does it actually enhance the graphics capabilities of the Amiga? I see the A1200 accelerator is slated for 2017.

+save2600 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Have mine preordered too! About the video output, from what I gather, the card also acts as an external video graphics accelerator card (just for Workbench screen modes and games designed for it like Doom and Quake of course) with native HDMI out! So yes, you still need to switch between monitors, say one modern LCD and one CRT for playing games... that's exactly how I ran my 060 based A2000 for a while. Really nice having a graphics accelerated Amiga with full color desktop to navigate your WHDLoad files, surf the web and do other productive things but will always prefer to game on CRT's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laner Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 The latest core has limited ECS support through HDMI; about 160-170 games are currently support. Hopefully it will improve over time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinphaltimus Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 My A500 case is broken, breaking and brittle. I finally took the case I wanted out of the attic and sealed the deal with a label. My Vampire II a500 is going to love this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
