[comp.sys.amiga.graphics] DCTV +A500?

Hi,

I'm looking for any DCTVers out there who are using it on the A500 
with the regular Angus chip (i.e. 512K chip ram).

First of all, does it work? Is it painfully slow on a plain-jane 68000
processor? Does having lots of fast ram (8megs) help?

Thanks,

Lou

I've run DCTV on nothing but 68000 based machines and find it quite nice. The
only part that gets a bit clunky is when you have largish brushes. I worked
with a 3 meg 500 w/old agnus and it was just fine. DCTV also comes with 1
megabyte versions of the program modules so 3 megs in not absoloutly
required. I haven't tried it in this configuration so I couldn't tell you how
functional it is in that config.
