Not from Atari; but arn't we used to get things promised by Atari and sold by some third party developer? I have a BLiTTER in my 1985 520ST+. Got the board from a german company (Rolf Rocke Computer), the chip itself as "spare part" from an Atari dealer. The board is around DM 150, the chip almost the same. (a dollar buys DM 1,7910 today). Well, I think a 16 MHz CPU and Quick ST (this very nice little shareware program) will perform better (but be more exspensive). hase -- Hartmut Semken, Lupsteiner Weg 67, 1000 Berlin 37 hase@netmbx.UUCP Dennis had stepped up into the top seat whet its founder had died of a lethal overdose of brick wall, taken while under the influence of a Ferrari and a bottle of tequila.
