Apparently someone has managed to get an A500 running OS4 by using a ACA500 and Blizzard PPC card.

A1200 Power Tower
OS 3.9 / CGX4 / OS4.0
Blizzard 210Mhz (overclocked to 266Mhz) 603e PPC with 25Mhz 040 (Overclocked to 33Mhz) 256Mb RAM
ZIV
CV64/3D
3.2Gb HDD + 20GB HDD
Now that is cool if it is real. Although would it mean the graphics are going through the OCS/ECS chipset?
If you haven't played a classic game in years, it's never too late to start!
I think it's got a BlizzardVision so it's got a full PPC kit plugged into a ACA500 to A500 so it probably only costs £1000 to do. Lol.

That begs the question.. how much of the actual A500 is really doing anything? Other than the keyboard and mouse.

Paula, Agnus? Probably a couple more diodes and transistors? It's just one of those useless experiments to see if it can be done.

LOL!! - Why?
Getting 0ld0r is mandatory - Growing up is just an option.
For the most part retro hardware that gets expanded these days is purely to prove it's possible. Fans of a system like nothing better than proving something can be made to work. A ppc cpu in an A500 would never have been considered possible years ago.
The majority of other expanded systems these days are people fulfilling their dream wish list from years ago.

Very interesting to see this from my point of view. But these people must be loaded if it cost £1000 just to prove a point?????
