Enhanced Chip Set
3 messages in this thread
Does anyone know if the Enhanced chip set (Fatter Agnus, Denise, etc.) has been
released yet and if so, what the package part number and price is? I know that
the newer features of Denise won't be useable until 1.4 comes out, but the 1
meg of chip ram capability in Agnus should be useable, right?

John,
No word on general release yet. They have been (Fatter Agnus, at least)
given out to some developers, and were passed out on a lottery basis at the
last DevCon. Yes, the new Agnus does work right away, as one of the members
here was lucky enough to get one, and reports, "..it's nice to run six Dpaints
at once". 8)

Doug,
I think that there might be a problem with the Fatter Agnus chip and the
1Meg CHIP ram. I seems to me that I heard (I can't remember where) that the
SetPatch program that should be on 1.3 WorkBench disks, also corrects a bug in
the Exec.library that dosn't handle the > 512K CHIP ram properly. I could be
all wet on this, but maybe CBM had a good reason to hand out those six chips at
DevCon? (unwary beta testers)
