I've used the RasterOps 24 bit board, which provides a very nice, crisp display
but at this point is quite slow (about three times slower than an 8 bit
display).  Apparently, the people at RasterOps are working on making their
software faster.  One nice feature:  existing programs that conform to the
Apple guidelines draw just fine on this board.
