-
- Phase 5 has designed a PowerPC board for the A4000/3000 Amigas.
- It will be available soon (Feb? 96) to developers and in mid - end 96 to *ALL*
- AMIGA users (even A1200!!).
- Phase 5 will *NOT* port the Amiga OS to PPC, they say that's the job of Amiga
- Techno (they're working with Phase 5 on it). But Phase 5 will do the EXEC port
- to PPC plus the 680x0 emulation! The PPC EXEC will include version 3 of the
- CyberGFX system. The last rumor I heard was that CyberGFX 3 is being tested
- now.
- ECS and AGA will be a lot faster than now, without doing anything to the
- hardware. This CyberGFX will support nearly all GFX boards (even my A2410!).
-
- Further this GFX system will include 3D and realtime mapping and video
- algorithms so that programmers only need to call them!
-
- In an interview Phase 5 said that they would like to know what the new GFX
- chips developed by AMIGA Technology (24bit gfx, planar & chunky, plus some
- features of AAA and 16 bit sound) will look like and how far this development
- has gone so far.
