No, our new board does not de-interlace the incoming Amiga's signal. It can pass it thru, untouched. I think I should try and make myself very clear – our new board does NOT give the Amiga AGA capabilities. I think people should try to realize what that would require, it's a LOT more than just a 256 color non-interlaced screen. Take HAM8, 4+4 dual playfields, lots of new sprite capabilities, etc. There's no way we're about to try and reverse engineer the AGA chipset. Our board (in our humble opinion) goes BEYOND AGA. We believe that people want fast 24 bit graphics, that are easy to process (unlike HAM8). We also believe the Amiga GUI is not really setup for 24 bit, which is why we not only emulate Workbench (in any mode Workbench supports, which is up to 8 bit displays), but we include the EGS UI, which is vastly superior to Intuition, but programmatically, very similar. Better use of color, font sensitive, tear off menus, complete color independence (i.e., an app can assume it's running on a 24 bit display even if the actual current display mode isn't, and EGS does all the dithering, etc), etc. Regards, Paul.
