- I inquired here about this many months back. I was told that some fellow in
- Germany had managed the hack by "scabbing the AGA chipset" onto his 3000
- motherboard and made the needed mods to get it working. The message also said
- that this fellow was "to busy to say how exactly he accomplished it."
-
- Take that for what it's worth :-), my hats off to the guy if he exists and
- really pulled this off. What I wanted to do was assist in the creation of a
- Zorro II/III board that would fit into the 3000/T and use my old 1200 as a
- donor for the chipset. Well I was told that it would probably not be possible,
- as it would have to be done on the motherboard, not an expansion card.
-
- I never heard anything else so I sold the 1200 and bought a Picasso II board
-
- Later, Jeff
