- When I read the annoncement, I was fairly impressed, but I noticed
- that it didn't really give any hard core information.
-
- <i.e. what is the maximum resolution at 32 bits per pixel>
-
- The other thing I noticed is that, other than the hardware cursor,
- there was no mention whatsoever as to whether it had hardware
- assisted graphics--i.e. bitblt, and so on.
-
- If Acorn wants into the PC graphics biz, they'll have to provide
- at least some graphics accelleration...
