I have a few questions about the ULowell board. I asked these questions about a month ago, but our system went down and we just now got usenet back on line. 1) Will the ULowell board work with intuition stuff? 2) How compatible is the board with existing product? 3) What is the cost? 4) Is it released anywhere yet? 5) What resolutions and colors will it support? 6) Will separate includes and libs be needed to allow programs to use the board, or will it be transparent to the applications? Thanks in advance, Mathew Pierce`

Resolution 1024x1024 and 8 bit planes. >6) Will separate includes and libs be needed to allow programs to use the > board, or will it be transparent to the applications?

As the ULowell board does not use a bitmapped display like the inbuilt Amiga modes, it will not be very compatible with existing software at all! Most programs assume a bitmapped display. Programs will have to specially cater for this board. Colin Adams.
