Can I buy a graphics card for the A1200?
It is possible to plug a graphics card into the A1200. You will,
however, need to expand your Amiga, through buying a Zorro breakout
board. These retail at £100 UKP for one slot, or £180UKP
for several. These will allow Zorro II graphics cards to be
installed, such as popular Picasso IV and CyberVision.
Alternatively, Phase 5 have announced they will be releasing a
graphics card, titled "BlizzardVision", for their brand of PowerPC
boards. These plug directly into the accelerator slot and will use
the Permedia 2 chipset. This means they will be faster than the
Zorro-based variety.
