- Funny, then all those old adds I seen for EHB Denise's must have been in
- my imagination and those A1000s I have seen which couldn't do EHB until
- upgraded must have been a wild acid trip. The original Denise in the
- A1000 couldn't do Extra Half Bright and they hacked it in afterwards for
- the newer A1000s and A500s and upwards to use. Was that before your
- Amiga time/knowledge? They would not be sold nowadays or would just be
- listed as Denise or some variation such as a different revision number..
- ie: in current Amiga ads I have seen the Denise being listed as:
-
- Denise Rev. 8 8362 for $15
- Denise 8362 DIP $12.95
- Super Denise 8362 DIP $23.95
- Super Denise 8373 $35
-
- Granted the EHB Denise as it was advertised in the past is very old now,
- there WAS a Denise that couldn't do EHB and it showed with the software
- as the colors were fooled up.

- Someone rumoured this was coming from a supposed leak from an Italian
- developer but I highly doubt it though would be surprised.
