- I've been using SS with a PicassoII. I've been EXTREMELY happy with it.
- There are many who can afford the CyberVision-64 gfx card that have
- reported it to work real nice also. I wish I could afford one of those,
- especially with 4MB. :^) I tried using the CyberGraphX drivers with the
- Picasso. It seemed to eat up more fast RAM than usual. But, OTOH, that
- has been the only way I've been able to get any screen grabs (using a
- program from Aminet called CyberGrab). PPaint didn't want to recognize
- any SS screens. Hmmm..... Another important observation I made between
- CyberGraphX & Picasso drivers is that Iconian only works right under
- CyberGraphX. Running it with the Picasso drivers, the icon work window
- becomes garbled when I zoom in to work on it.
