Declaring interest, I will pay and PM later.
PMs sending.
Please correct me if I am wrong but does the HDMI feature mean I won't have to buy an Indivision ECS?
Thanks
Payment sent (125 Euro).
I may have messed up and not sent as gift payment however. Let me know if so and we can re-do.
Payment sent today for one card.
I doubt that very much... the HDMI looks to be intended for future possible RTG Video (and/or even Audio) output but for the original video output you still need a scandoubler from what I understand.Quote:

What will come later is at this moment in time only speculation.
That being said, a likely solution would be to build in something that is compatible with Picasso 96 or Cybergrafx "drivers". Only workbench & software written with RTG support would be able to use it as its display.
Old games wouldnt work with the new GFX card because they were not written with RTG support in mind.
However....
Knowing that the Apollo team have been dreaming big and planning to implement some kind of Super AGA or AGA ++ I wouldnt rule out entirely that they could manage to implement something thay is actually backward compatible with native Amiga modes.
But note that Im speculating wildly now.
When the time is right, we will get official info but dont hold your breath ;-)
Quick info: PCB is in the production since few days ago like I said that it will be. First parts needed are with me and today more parts for second batch and future projects ordered.
About HDMI, it is placed on the card because I had the space for it, for now nothing regarding that matter is promised so it is still on paper. Most important thing that HDMI will be present regarding hardware part, so in future cores there is a chance to support it.
Edit: Just to mention once more, none of this would be possible to finance by me alone if there were no pre-orders. So tnx all once more for understanding.
