Boy, you sure are hung up on that Ulowell card aren't you? Back when it was first announced as a technical press release (or whatever they called it) I asked about when it would be out and how much it would cost, etc. someone at CBM (I forget who now) sent back to me and said (paraphrased from memory): It was just a demo unit. NO plans are being made to mass produce it. It was just to show what could be done on the Amiga, but the card would be much too expensive to produce (they would have to charge so much for the board that they wouldn't sell enough to be profitable). I too would like to see 24 bit video on an amiga, but I don't think it will be the Ulowell board. Maybe if they can refine it enough and make it cheaply enough. Don't hold your breath though. Or start whining about it. It will get here when it does, and not before. -- John Sparks | D.I.S.K. 24hrs 2400bps.
