I would assume that it would be treated more or less like an IBM VGA board... it would be a strong selling point for any program to work with it, because the graphics are *very* nice. And since there seems to be some animation processing built in, some games that only run fast on a machine like the Amiga could be run on a //gs. Since there's only one board of its kind, it would become an instant standard. Think about it... Amiga graphics on a //gs for about $400. Even works with your current monitor... The board was still in a raw prototype state (6 months or so from final product); they were at AppleFest to gather opinions and get a feeling for the market. The company is: SYNnovation, Inc.

I'm just pretty impressed that somebody finally decided to do something about the graphics on a //gS (small 'g'). > | Eric Merrill tippy!emerrill@newton.physics.purdue.edu |
