- I don't use any of these, so I can't tell you how well they work

- The Piccolo-SD64 is the only up-to-date graphics board which still
- supports Zorro-II (Zorro-III as well if you switch the Amiga later),
- so the choice is rather easy. The price-difference to the Picasso-II
- is well-invested money, since you get much better speed and refresh
- rates. The 2 MB version is the best choice in my opinion. I'm using
- one myself since the end of '94 and I'm very happy with it.
