- 1. It is definitely 24 bit, all the way
- 2. It has 1.5Mb of VRAM (I think)
- 3. It requires a 15Khz Monitor, NTSC, or PAL... however a scan rate
- converter will be available soon to allow it to be connected to VGA's and
- multisyncs.
- 4. I've done about 25fps on a 3000, never tried a 4000 yet. These were some
- Imagine and MorphPlus Animations and looked quite stunning.
-
- 5. I'd recommend it highly, its one of the few products I've come across
- with a truely polished finish. It is packed with features, the paint
- package is a cross between the best features of Dpaint and Adpro. If the
- add on boards live it to the standard of the initial board I've say it'll
- wipe the toaster off the market (esp as its PAL).
-
- I do sell the boards, but as I'm in a shop in NZ I doubt you'd buy one from
- me ;-)
