Jim,
Humm…1 Meg x 1 Meg resolution would be 128Kbytes per raster line and
with million raster lines, that would be 128 Gigabytes! per bit plane…I think
you meant 1024 x 1024 resolution (1K x 1K) which is 128 bytes per raster line
or 128KBytes per bit plane.
To add that capability with the A2000/500 should only be a chip change
if and when the chip becomes available and presuming it will fit into the
current socket. A much different video output (sync rates, etc) would also be
needed….on the A2000 that shouldn't be a problem with the video slot, I'm not
sure about the A500 on the video output whether the current circuitry could or
couln't be modified.
