- Last Friday, Scott Gentry revealed that he was close to signing a contract
- to begin work on Allison 2.0, the digitizer software for the Enhanced AST
- Vision Plus now offered by Alltech. It used to be called the Visionary
- board, nee AST Vision Plus.
-
- There's a new firmware release that enables "Allison Movies" in the upcoming
- software. You'll be able to capture in grayscale, 80x50 frames from video
- at 30 frames per second. Frame editing and splicing, as well as transitions,
- are among the planned features in Allison 2.0. A 16-palette color mode was
- also mentioned at the AGS conference.
-
- Upgrades will be handled by Alltech Electronics. The projected price of the
- new digitizer/Allison combo is around $200. Look for it sometime in the
- Spring or Summer 1993.
