Dom, X-Pert in Germany are manufacturing (oh well, they have it manufactured in Taiwan) a 24bit graphics board which will provide AGA compatibility (it's not yet implemented in the system software but they had a program out even back in March, just to prove that it can be done, which is 1200 bytes large and emulates the AA chipset if only a bit slow…). The board is called MERLIN comes in varieties of 1, 2, or 4 (later even 8 and 16) Megs of Video RAM in 2 special SIMM holders, externally expandable to up to 1 Gigabyte, own BLITTER with up to 50 Megapixels/sec, RTG ready (socket), Modular construction with Video converter module (RGB to Composite and Y-C), Realtime 24bit video digitizer module, and 24bit Genlock module; future developments will include Memory Expansion, MPEG compression/decompression module, video effects generator module and more. I already posted a more detailed description a week or two ago, but I think maybe I'll write it all down and upload it here… // Chris coming in from Germany \X/ on AutoPilot 1.051……….
