Unknown Mega ST blitter ?
Posted: 12 Sep 2025 17:11
This one just sparked my interest because I just happened to see this post on Facebook..
Some others notice that the CPU is soldered down and a lot of chips are now in sockets which they are not ordinarily.. I notice there is no blitter patch..
The guy said "the box has blitter upgraded sticker on it"
I asked for a closeup above the blitter, not sure I recognised the brand ? But a little odd as it is actually stamped 1987. When normally they are like 8908. Normally ST / National brands IIRC in general. Maybe IMP not sure ?
Just thought it was slightly interesting enough to document it..
