-In a magazine I read an anouncement about a video card called HAM-E
-from Black Belt systems. this card gives you:

It's a metal box, really. (So You could use it with A500's) With Power Sup.

-- 262 144 colors at the same time
-- 256 colors out of 16M

But everything in LORES

-and all that for $ 300

Seems like a good deal...
I've read comments concerning HAM-E and DCTV, and also comparaisons, but
they more confuse than clarify which one to buy. You sure can't ask the
guys at Black Belt and trust their answer! Anyway, they sent a colour flyer
REAL fast.

-What I want to know is:
-- What resolution does it use?

It's LORES, since it takes two pixels of a HIRES screen and decodes them
to one pixel with more colour information. Includes paint and rendering
software with source code.

-- Where can I buy it?

Contact Black Belt Systems - RR1 Box 4272 - 398 Johnson Road -
                             Glasgow, Montana - 59230 - USA

-- Can you still use split screen's? (the copper magic!)
