- You can say this, but I can't. :) Hence my recommendation to use a Digital
- Creations SuperGen or SuperGen SX (S-Video).
-
- One really nice advantage is that the SuperGen has a linear-key function,
- which allows you to fade in/out the overlay graphics of the Amiga. The
- G-Lock can only fade graphics or the background, but no key fade function.
