Scheduled for the 3rd to 4th quarter 1999 is our new add on board for the PicassoIV modular graphics-board:
The board will bring 3Dfx technology to ZorroIII Amigas like A3k, A4k, A1200 with z3 board in conjunction with an additional PicassoIV. It will give you never seen 3d functionality to the amiga-classic range of computer systems.
With the optional PabloIV module you will be able to bring your 3D-applications to your 25" Television and/or tape your 3D-Scenes to your videorecorder.
From the technical side of view the board will be able to bring up to 960x720 pixels in resolution with 8 MB of texture/pixel ram. Programmers will get a native GLIDE® API and later an additional Warp3D driver for the Haage&Partner 3d API-system.
