- After having read the add again and the postings in this thread, I have some
- more questions:
-
- 6) Will one of the add-on modules allow me to add a higher resolution
- output in the future (i.e.: up to 1280x1024) with a VGA, SVGA, etc.
- monitor?
-
- 7) What is the "VLSI graphics coprocessor" that is used? Is it a
- 340x0 or some other standard graphics coprocessor?
-
- 8) If I want to write software that will take advantage of a
- coprocessor in Amiga, is there a "friendly" way of doing this?
- Will I be able to run programs on the graphics coprocessor
- when it isn't busy doing other things? Is multitasking even
- planned for in a future release of the software? (I realize
- that any coprocessor which you may have used will not be 680x0
- compatible. I'm willing to write my own code if it is capable
- of running it.)
-
- P.S.: Some of the posting of the "Opalvision Newsletter" was garbled.
- Could someone repost it?
