Does it exist, or doesn't it? In a conference that was held last night (Friday
13 July) on America Online, the developers of the TurboRez graphics board
announced that they were suspending development, based on the rumors of an
impending ROM 04 IIgs with improved graphics abilities and the reality of
Apple's release of the Animation Toolset.

The TurboRez, which I saw at one of the AppleFests, gives the IIgs a palette
of 256 colors per line, with a resolution of 640x400. 

The ROM 04 may really exist, or at least the rumors of its existence are so
great that they can't be ignored, if a potentially great IIgs product is
grounded based only on rumors.
