V1200 Feature List Released?

Hi All,

I have had a trawl through the other posts but couldn't seem to find a definitive answer. I currently have a V500V2 and it works great, no complaints.

I have expressed interested in the V1200 but was wondering if it will still require 2 x monitors (as per current V500V2 core) and if AGA and P96 are supported concurrently? I know there were some discussions around this and also FPU support but as I recall these were related more toward the V500.

Regards,

Ross

Hi Ross

AGA output is gonna be through the RGB out on the Amiga, so it will have AGA straight off the mark anyway. having a look at the newest core. 2.12 will give you a better idea of what's been implemented.

Hi,
 
 
  Thanks for the reply! That's the beta core right? As I read it AGA is working but not P96? Or there is a choice of P96 OR FPU? I'll go and reread, it's been a few weeks.

OK, cool just reread that post. No USB blaster for me, but happy to wait for the public release :-)
 
  Regards,
 
  Ross.

The V1200 feature list is published.  If you look at the top of the page, you will see a "products" tab.  There the V1200 is listed with the high level features.  The software features will mirror the V500.  AGA will still be delivered over the stand Amiga RGB port and RTG via the digital video out from the vampire card.

There are some key differences to the V500/V600 though.  It has two expansion ports (the V500 had just one) and you will notice that it is a tad faster.  If you have seen screen shots posted earlier by BigGun, the speed is a bit faster than the V500.  That is something to look forward to.
