I would like to expand my A1200 with an extra graphics solution.
I have an option on a Bvision but
-would i benefit that much from such a card?
-would an Indivision be a more sensible purchase?
-should i get a Microvitec?
I intend to run OS4 in multiboot with a nice classicWB.
I would like to do as much as possible with the mig but i understand its limits ofcourse.

The BVision graphics card will only work with a Blizzard PPC A1200 accelerator card. You cannot use it AFAIK on its own. And the PPC card + BVision together cost a lot of money if you can ever find them these days.
The Indivision scan doubler/flicker fixer is a good solution to allow you to run all native Amiga modes on a VGA compatible monitor with no flicker and nice quality visuals. It won't however give you any additional features that a separate graphics card would, such as 24-bit colour, or higher resolutions.
If you want to get as much from your A1200 then you first need to look at converting it into a tower system, and then get a breakout board with some PCI slots. Then you can connect up a PCI graphics card for better graphics. Also a PPC or 68040/60 accelerators need the A1200 in a tower due to the heat they produce.
specs are in my sig...
browsing other forums i got several tips and it seems
- pci-cards(cheap) via a mediator(expensive) would pull more recourses from cpu
- G-Rex... stay away!
- Bvision has beter driver-support and runs more stabile than a Voodo on a 1200PPC
- Cybergraphics/Bvision runs smoother but slower than Picasso/Voodoo
- No MorhpOS on a mediator
I would go for wlan via pcmcia and don't need a soundcard because Paula does a nice enough job for me!
