The new MegaST's seem great : they have many interesting new features but I'd like to have more informations about their new graphics. Some postings say there will be the blitter chip built-in, some other no. Some rumors say that there will be an expansion card with a graphic chip and allowing a 1024 * 1024 resolution on a monochrome monitor. So, what is the truth ? If we only consider the hardware, we nearly have everything for a good small low-cost workstation : memory (2Meg, 4Meg), power (68000/88020). But what about graphics ? When will we have a screen (monochrome is enough) with at least 1024*1024 resolution, good enough for true desktop publishing and CAD applications ? What will be its price ? What are the graphics improvements in the Mega family (if there are any) ? Yves Bernard Philips Research Labs, Brussels.
