Jim: I've been holding off purchasing any of the graphics cards since you mentioned the 'Edge' here on CompuServe. Any idea on when it might be available? I want to get a graphics card that will do justice to my 4000 with Emplant and WarpEngine, and the Edge sounds like just the card I was looking for. Also, does the Edge come with a video passthrough so that normal Amiga modes can go through it if need be?

Yes, the EGDE does have single monitor (passthru) support. We are looking at late October before it's available.

Jim, I am curious, what is the Edge? Also are the rumors about an 060 coming from you accurate? If so, I think I'll hold off on a Warp Drive.

Do you have an expected price range for the Edge? -=Andrew=-

"Yes, the EGDE does have single monitor (passthru) support. We are looking at late October before it's available." Sounds great Jim. I've been waiting for a board like this for quite some time. All of the other boards I've looked at had some kind of shortcoming's that has kept me from purchasing a 24-bit board. Either it didn't have a monitor passthrough, didn't have Zorro-III autosense, or the software was lousy. So with my WarpEngine, Edge graphics card, and Emplant, do you suppose I might have a fairly fast Mac or PC <g>.

OK for a passthru but do you have added flicker fixer function ? Now I have a Picasso card and a monitor which not accept 15.5 kHz… For use it I need a flicker fixer and the graphic card. If the this functin is on the card it is better for me !

No, the EDGE does not have a flicker fixer built in, however, like the Picasso, EGS Spectrum, and Piccolo video boards (all use the Cirrus 5426 gfx processor), you can (with a 15->23 pin adapter) use a 1084 monitor.
