- A friend of mine once borrowed me his *old* Domino 32k (1 MByte) which I used
- for some weeks in my A3000.
-
- OK, I admit, it is old and therefore rather slow (manly because it's a Zorro II
- card I guess). But I could work rather well with this card (I even played the
- DeluxeGloom demo from Aminet on my 800x600x256 Workbench. But don't expect a
- speedy scrolling. However it does allow a pass-through of the Amiga output, so
- you can use a single monitor system and best of all there does exist a
- Cybergraphics driver for this card (although I never managed to get 32768 colors
- with this driver).
-
- Don't know what one would pay/want for this type of card (don't forget there's a
- long way from Austria to Australia). If you are interested I ask my friend.
- Now this card is lying around on top of my bookshelf.
