I have seen beauty. I was walking around at COMDEX today, stopped by the Texas Instruments booth.. when what should my eyes behold? An Amiga 3000 running Unix V rel 4... and it had a really nice graphics card with it, too. 1024 x 1024 x 8 graphics.. (noninterlaced, of course). It was running XWindows, and really really looked sharp. I gaped. The graphics board was using the TI TIGA technology.. that's all I can remember. I gaped. My apologies for not being able to give more info.. I just thought I'd share this with the rest of the net... on the other hand, if anyone knows MORE about this product (either Unix or the graphics board), please either reply to me. I will post a summary to the net.

I will post a summary to the net. It's the quasi-mythical University of Lowell card. It has been connected to Amiga Unix, and has been in place for at least 8 months in that venue - the Toronto World of Amiga show had it on display last November. It does indeed look quite nice, so if the performance can get improved with X11R4, the product should be good... -- ,u, Bruce Becker Toronto, Ontario a /i/ Internet: bdb@becker.UUCP, bruce@gpu.utcs.toronto.edu `\o\-e UUCP: ...!uunet!mnetor!becker!bdb _< /_ "I still have my phil-os-o-phy" - Meredith Monk
