Hardware supported by Picasso96
Minimum requirements:
- Amiga with Kickstart 3.x and Motorola MC68020 processor or better or a system running the UAE Amiga emulator,
- more than 4 MB of available RAM,
- VGA monitor or compatible,
- at least one of these boards:
- CyberVision3D,
- CyberVision64,
- Domino,
- Merlin,
- oMniBus,
- PicassoII,
- PicassoII+,
- PicassoIV,
- Piccolo,
- Piccolo SD64,
- Pixel64,
- Retina BLT Z3,
- Spectrum,
- UAEgfx.
Recommended for optimum performance and usability:
- accelerator board using Motorola MC68040 or MC68060 CPU and local fast RAM,
- 8 MB of fast RAM,
- hard drive,
- Amiga 3000/4000 with a ZorroIII graphics board (e.g. PicassoIV),
- a decent state-of-the-art VGA monitor (Multisync) with a maximum line
frequency of more than 64kHz offering resolutions upto 1024x768 in 75Hz
refresh at least.
alternatively a high-end PC equipped with:
- PentiumII,
- 32 MB RAM,
- graphics board with AGP bus interface.
Currently not supported:
- Phase5 CyberVisionPPC because we don't have one (and no CS MkIII or CS PPC to use it with either),
- Phase5 BVisionPPC because we don't have one (and no Blizzard to use it with either), too,
- Macrosystem Retina Z2 due to missing linear mapped memory access,
- Commodore A2410 due to also missing linear mapped memory access.
Please do not ask me when or if drivers for those boards will be available,
you will notice as soon as one actually is, ok?
If you are really interested to get support for a currently not supported
board, lend us one for development or ask its maker to do so. Depending on
the sort of problems we face we would probably need the board for about
four weeks to get a basic driver up and running.
