- I will. It's not. The video slot only sees the video output, it does
- NOT see the chip ram bus. A chipset could not exist there. I could
- see a daughterboard that plugged into all sorts of things on the
- motherboard (Zorro II/III wouldn't cut it unless RTG is around, and
- then you still wouldn't have hardware compatibility). If this
- DKB AGA upgrade exists, it will be very Rejuvenator-like.
