It appears that this VoodooI-based 3D accelerator module for the Picasso IV boards will be released after all. Blittersoft write: "We have this week received news with confirmation of the ParaGlide project. We have been urged to keep pre-orders open so if you wish to secure your unit on release, be sure to pre-order now!"

Paraglide going ahead : Comment 11 of 19ANN.lu

In reply to Comment 10 (Michael Jantzen):
Obviously this is for people who already have a Picasso IV...not even the
most insane Amigan would pay $400 for a Picasso IV + $150 (or whatever)
for the Paraglide, just to be able to play a few games ported from the PC.
But, if like me you already have a Picasso IV, then it makes some sense.
It's mostly good enough for the few games the classic Amiga will get that
need 3D, and is the least expensive option. Plus I know it will work with
my A1200T; the Mediator/Predator might not fit properly. Plus it's the only
way I know of to get NTSC/PAL screens + 2D/3D graphics card screens to work
on the same monitor without fooling around with switch boxes or multiple
monitors.
I'd given up on it but I think maybe I'll get one after all.
