- Finally? I sure hope this is true, allthough I like RetinaEmu I really would
- appreciate a CGX-driver for the Retiana ZII for future compatibility.
- BTW I was told by someone at MacroSystem NL that RetinaEmu is no longer
- developed, MacroSystem will switch to CyberGFX for their Retinas.
- This way they don't have to worry about updating RetinaEmu and have more time
- for the further development of their Draco. He couldn't tell me however
- whether there will be a CGX Retina ZII-driver. I hope that they've made up
- their minds. (or maybe someone else has....)

- VG> I have heard of EGS,

- Once upon a time there was .... It's no longer developed and I 've heard
- that it was hell for developers. When they had written a program for the
- average Amiga, they had to rewrite it allmost entirely to make it fully
- compatibel with EGS.

- These rumours could be a logical next step for MacroSystem.

- I have a A2000/030 33Mhz 2 Mb Chip 8 Mb Fast and although the 256 color
- 800 x 600 Workbench is a bit slow I can work with it pretty well
- 1024 x 768 256 colors works the same. But usually I prefer a plain
- 4 color 1024x768 Workbench which works absolutely fabukous :-))
