- The video on James Pond 2 and 3 is 320x100, which is the limit of 2x
- CDROM, from what I understand, and the CDXL software doubles the number
- of rows. Now I was thinking (Uh-oh!), since the new Amigas (Walkers,
- etc.) will come with a 4x CDROM, couldn't they have twice as much info
- coming in off the CD, allowing 320x200 HAM8 CDXL? I'd be happy with
- that. Try to do one-quarter of that on a Pentium PC with AVI or MPEG (I
- have, yuck!). Just a thought...
