Jimwith 3.1 will my A2000 which has 18megs GVP040 and a Toaster work as reliably as it does now? And how much power does a Picasso use? Case is kind of full… And are these benefits worthwhile without AGA, What paint package would I use in place of Dpaint/Brilliance which are based on Customchips under a Picasso/3.1 setup?

John, <with 3.1 will my A2000 which has 18megs GVP040 and a Toaster work as reliably as it does now? And how much power does a Picasso use?> Not 100% sure about the Toaster, but I suspect your system will work better with the Picasso than it does now; my A2000/040 28megs memory with the Opalboard (which also goes into the video slot like the Toaster) works like a dream! I don't know how much power the Picasso uses, but I wouldn't imagine it was much. < And are these benefits worthwhile without AGA> In my opinion (been using the Picasso since Jan) absolutely! I'm a very happy Picasso user! <What paint package would I use in place of Dpaint/Brilliance which are based on Customchips under a Picasso/3.1 setup?> You have your choice of several. TV Paint (you'll get the Jr. version with your board), Photogenics, Personal Paint or XIPaint all work perfectly with the Picasso board. Asha @}–`–,-

I have heard of compatability problems w/ 3.1 Ados and the toaster, but I am not a video-head so I can't add anything more. Matt Straney, 3 hours late, without your luggage from Grand Ledge — on AutoPilot ——–>
