I too would like to see some color cards. Several have been demonstrated
to me but nothing as far as an RGB product has really come available as
far as I know. What I would like to see is either a 24/32 bit true color
card or a simple 8 bit card with a nice 24 bit CLUT.
For starters just make it dumb, dumb, dumb.
Worry about speeding it up with a local processor later.

Motif? I'm not presently working on getting motif ready for the Amiga
however it is planned to be ported. There are several people that have
indicated an interest in spending the effort to try.
