- Given the price/performance ratio, this should make the Golden Gate II
- quite marketable. Have any of the current users indicated whether they have
- written any code to use a VGA card in a frame buffer capacity?
-
- Also, is it possible to use the GGII/VGA combination of hardware on the Amiga
- side and still have access to the VGA card with a Bridgeboard installed
- (not at the same time of course)?
