Greetings Bryan, I can't answer your question about how the VLAB-M compares to the products of other platforms because I don't have the resources to purchase them all and perform a good comparison <grin>! I suggest you start looking at the specifications of these products and then go to your friendly dealer to see them in operation first hand. When I purchased my VLAB-M, it was clearly one of the better solutions because it supported 640 x 480 at 60 fields/second while the majority of the CLONE solutions were considered incredible if the could do 320 x 240. I hear rumors that the next generation CLONE stuff will support the 640 x 480 but you will probably need a PCI bus to support the data rates — go figure! Tech support for the VLAB-M has never been available on CIS even though several owners have requested such! On the other hand, I've never had a problem NoahJi's couldn't help me with and they do return your phone calls. I would recommend you call NoahJi's and discuss their current thinking about the VLAB-M and how the DraCo (Amiga CLONE) fits in the big picture. I'm still very impressed with the VLAB-M but it will make you crazy for more CPU horsepower and larger disk drives! EdV
