#93905 CG Message #94096
From: Tom Patrick-InnoVision T Amiga Vendor Forum · NewTek November 4, 1994 11:04 PM
The Roll is and it's a tradeoff currently. The future may not have all the current features either as a 4096 color roll at 1ns eff. with interactive speed control seems to really max things out. Perhaps this will change as NT says they'll help 3rd part dev. after the…
