christo930 has made a comment on Amiga 1200T - OS3.9:

I have 2 questions. First, what is the point of adding a 060 if the 603e contains an 040 emulator which is pretty good and probably is as fast as a an 040 at 50mhz.? Can you play youtube videos? Can you launch the old full screen games with the video card installed?

(Sorry, I removed your post by accident) - There is no emulator here. OS3.9 is running on the 68060. Other programs are utilising the PPC chip. :)

Old games can be run with no problem, but will not be output through the graphics card but the Amiga's custom chips, unless they are designed to do so.

The monitor in the video is also connected to the RGB port on the back of the Amiga for old AGA games, although I mostly use my other Amiga for those as they're not always system friendly.

As for youtube on this setup, I think it'd be pretty unusable. :)

Nice setup dude!

I allmost have the same setup except i have the dreaded 040/25 Mhz on my Blizzard PPC, the 060 makes your amiga rock!

@EdgeOfPanic

It does indeed :) I also have another PPC card with the 040... it never did work with the BVision. This card made things very sweet!

Oh well.... saving up for an AmigaOne X1000 now ;)

Wish I had one of these to play with, had to settle for a plain Blizzard 1260 50MHz. Lately I've become more interested in the bare bones though, getting the max out of the unexpanded machines.

[stevieu83]

The 68060 is such a nice chip :) I've just bought a Blizzard '030 IV to stick in the other A1200. I did miss that card! I swapped my old one for some SIMMs some years back...one of the most stupid things I've done ;)

the amiga is still the only computer that made use of its harware capabilities 100%. its amazing what you can do even with a 68020 a1200 with 16mb fast ram. todays home pc suck. u get 500gb memory and 55225555 ghz procecors and windows still look so slow. especially at multitasking. macosx and linux a little bit better but still no amiga. imagine todays hardware with amiga operating system and arcitechture. amazing. too bad commodore never hired a good economics advisor....

[Gerrit944]

Its sad that todays software is not able to take as much advantage of the available hardware as the good old amiga could. good music tase by the way :)

@DispencahereBOINK The main manufacturers for home computers were: Commodore Apple Atari Radio Shack (Tandy) IBM Texas Instruments . Over time these manufacturers either quit or went bankrupt, and by 1995 there was nobody left except IBM PC clones and the Apples. Even Apple almost disappeared in 1998, due to being outsold by PCs 10-to-1, but they were able to turn themselves around .

My Commodore Amiga 500 died (in a flood). Can I buy your 1200 please?
