Terry, I went thru same dilemma on 24bit boards (wanting one, but realizing that they required frame-by-frame to do anims with). I now have a HAM-E which gets me about 90% satisfaction, for about 10% of the price. I usually use the 256 color mode, which looks pretty darn good, and is easy to animate with. Have the same limitations on real-time anims as you do with hires anims (ie. watch the amount of changes, etc), but its very feasible. Someday I'll likely get a full frame buffer (the FireCracker sounds great), but for now the HAM-E is doing me just fine. Just thought I'd throw my .02 dollars in. ttfn –jp–seattle–
