- I do not think they will ... there was something mentioned "Probably 2 MB in

- The new custom chip is called Tony, but i do not think they did really CHANGE
- anything. They probably only put all three of them to one Chip... if they
- would have changes the graphics, they could have inserted an S3 at once ...
- So i am assuming it will be compatible (this step HAD to follow... i heard
- they had difficulties at the beginning that could still PRODUCE chips like the
- AGA chipset because they would be too small...)
