- So far, the playing field seems to be as follows. Please correct me
- if I'm wrong on any of these - it's all from memory.
-
- Board Modes Installation
- ------------------------------------------------------------
- AVideo 12 or 24 bit A500/A2000 - denise socket
- Rembrandt 24 bit A2000 / A3000
- GVP ImpactVision 24 bit A2000 w/adapter, A3000
- Video Toaster 24 bit A2000, but not PAL
- Harlequin 32 bit (24 + alpha) A2000/A3000
- OpalVision 24 bit unknown, not released(?)
-
- Other offerings, like DCTV or HAME+, are not 24 bit or, in M.A.S.T.'s
- case, defunct.
-
- I'd like to buy one of these boards in the near future but would
- first like to hear from actual owners what they think of them.
-
- If there's sufficient interest, I'll be more than happy to take my
- findings and turn them into a FAQ. If there's already a FAQ, then
- I'd very much like to see it!
