Does anyone know if the new Animator Pro will support the Sierra RAMDAC
Highcolor chip? Wouldn't that be great to see an animation in a few
thousand colors? When will the upgrade to Pro be available anyway?
Animator Pro includes support for standard VGA and also SVGA through the
VESA driver. There will not be support for the Sierra HiColor RAM/DAC,
although it is entirely possible that you may be able to find HiColor
support from 3rd party ADI developers such as ourselves.
I think that you may find that speed will be a big problem with
Animator Pro running in a HiColor mode. You'll be fetching twice as
much data from your hard drive and sending twice as much out to the
VGA.
