Amiga 1200 Tower - Blizzard 1260 + Classic Workbench P96 Demo

Hi!

I recently picked up a Blizzard 1260 for my A1200T, this is a massive upgrade on my old 68030 =)

I've made a Video to demonstrate some of the things that are possible on this system.

The OS is a pimped out version of Workbench 3.1 (Clasic Workbench P96)

The Machine Specs:

A1200 1D4
Blizzard 1260 + SCSI Kit
128mb Ram (2x 64mb)
40gb HDD (SFS File System)
IDE DVD RW
4 Way Buffered IDE
Mediator PCI 1200 SX
Voodoo 5 5500 64mb
Soundblaster 128
Netgear MA401 PCMCIA WiFi
Case is an EZ Z4 Tower (Available from Amigakit)

Thanks for looking, hope you enjoy the Vid =)

Hi!

This A1200 has a Mediator PCI and Voodoo Graphics Card so has 16/24/32bit RTG for workbench and support apps, most of the old Games like Quake just run in 256 Colour though ;-)

Thanks for the kind words :-)

Yeah but this is a 50mhz 060 without the technology in a Pentium. Also this is only software rendering - however the is a Warp3D (MiniGL) version that runs better on the 060 :-)

@Alex76gr - thanks for the kind words :-)

@ Watertonianm, thats right this is just 50mhz 060 running through Voodoo GFX card but without GL support - having some trouble with Warp3D at the moment but maybe get GL Quake up and running soon =)

[fitzsteve]

Its better when you drop the screen size, and once I get Warp3D working I'll be able to play GL Quake =)

"Will a standard Amiga 1200 run doom that fast?" No way! This is an A1200 eXtreme! :)

also, can't you get the voodoo to run quake? with a mini gl patch like you do on the pc? Should run sweet on a 3dfx card. :)

Will a standard Amiga 1200 run doom that fast? I was thinking of getting one :) I also have an Atari jaguar and doom runs sweet as a nut on that old thing :)

[miodekdj]
