It's quite fast from what I've seen, but I haven't seen alot of 8-bit X implementations to compare it with. There are currently optimised X window server software for the board under UNIX, but apperantly there's no AmigaDos support for it yet. The board is nearing completion and is about to be released ( second hand info at best don't believe me ). It will most likely be released with UNIX since they complement each other so well. Hope this helps. -- Tim Desjardins. tdesjardins@lion.waterloo.{edu|CA} "It's better to regret something you have done, then to regret something you haven't done." Butthole Surfers
