[comp.sys.atari.st] High Rez graphics boards for Mega

Hello everyone!

I am the owner of a Mega 2 color system with the Overscan modification.
I am very interested in buying Image Systems color graphics board for the
Mega.  It provides 1024 x 768 in 16 colors.  Has anyone seen it and can
give a list of it's features?  Will it emulate Low, Med, and Hi rez on
it, or do I have to get an additional switch box to be able switch
between the standard Atari Video signal and the Graphics card?

What other Graphics boards are out for the Mega in the US?

I have recently received the May/June catolog from Jade Computer.  It
has an add for a Panasonic 'PanaSync' color monitor.  Here are the Specs
for it:

Resolution	1024 x 768
Dot Pitch	.28
Auto Sync	31 to 37 KHz
Autoscan	50 to 90 Hz
Video Bandwidth	45 MHz
Interlaced	Yes
Non-interlaced	Yes
Tilt and Swivel Yes
Front Panel
  Controls	Yes

I was shocked to see them selling this for $488.  Has anyone seen this
monitor?  Does anyone know if it will work well with the Image Systems
board?

Thanks!!!
