#Retina ZIII
7 messages in this thread
I remember a while back when the Retina ZIII first came out there was some
problems with it and Workbench 3.1 , I was wondering if they ever fixed those
problems with new software updates… Also is there anyone out there who is
running the ZIII with the emplant, if so let me know what you think about how
they work together.. What the hey, what do you think about the quality of the
retina ZIII?
Yes, the new release of the software fixed the 3.1 incompatibilities. I think
the quality is excellent. It just takes some work to get it just the way you
want it.

Is the new release packaged with the unit or is it up here on Cis?
At one point the system part of the release only was here. However, you can
order it, either for free or for I think $25, depending on what version you
have and from whom you bought it, from NoahJi's, and you'll get several
programs, like xiPaint, as well.
It supports OS3.1 well enough – I can vouch for that, since I have 3.1. 😉

Well I plan on buying the Retina ZIII new so hopefully it comes with the newest
software… BTW what revision software is the most current or the one that is
most xompatable with 3.1?
Version 2.3. If you order it now, that's what you'll get. However, if you can
wait until June for a display card, do, because supposedly the CyberVision will
be out by then, which will use the same software that the PicassoII does –
which is EXCELLENT, unlike the krap that comes with the Retina – and which will
also use a 64bit controller, thus perhaps being faster than the Retina. Otoh,
don't get a PicassoII if you want speed, because the RetinaZ3 is FAR faster.
With my WarpEngine 3040, I've got about 280,000 pixels per second according to
IntuiSpeed at 800×600, 256 colors.
