Working on the #ZZ9000 #Amiga #RTG card next. Time to optimize that performance a bit, since there hasn't been any new firmware or driver updates in quite a while!

Does someone know if the #mnt #zz9000 works on #reamiga boards? I installed my old ZZ9000 from my old A3K but the #AMIGA is kind of frozen (though I can run Linux from my SD on the ZZ)? Ctrl-a-a works as well🤔 @mntmn

Übrigens: was ich auch ziemlich genial finde in Hinblick auf die #ZZ9000, ist die Tatsache, dass der Amiga als System bzw. als solches ohne Probleme mit dem Bildformat von 16:9 klarkommt, obwohl er aus einer Zeit von 4:3 Formaten stammt.

Eine Workbench auf dem Amiga mit 1920x1080 zu haben... ich glaube, daran muss ich mich auch noch gewöhnen.

Aber Dank der #ZZ9000 Karte von @mntmn ist das überhaupt möglich.

Was mir nun noch fehlt: ein HDMI-LED-Monitor im Retro-CRT Gehäuse.

Ich bin, so ein LED-Panel auf dem A3000 sieht irgendwie falsch aus.
Sehr passig fand ich den Nec 3D damals, aber mit 14" natürlich sehr klein. Mein Iiyama MF-8617T passt auch sehr schön auf den #A3000.

Gibt es Panels im Retrolook zu kaufen?
