- The Opal is a Video board - it's designed to produce gfx for Video/TV (like
- the Toaster). i.e. Output is 15kHz. No WB emulation is possible.
-
- The Picasso is a Gfx card - it's designed to produce hi-res hi colour
- displays for use with applications. It outputs at 15kHz -> 64kHz (not sure
- about the upper limit). It's main purpose IS WB emulation.
-
- Basically two different cards for 2 different purposes.
