Ok... In the newest Amiga World (Dec 1990, which is a very nice issue,,
almost makes me want to resubscribe) there are two relatively low priced
24bit color boards advertised: DCTV by Digital Creations which can be found
at an incredible price of $399 from Creative Computers, and the apperantly
unreleased Colorburst board from M.A.S.T. advertised by them for $495.

Has anyone had any experience with either of these boards?  A 24 bit board
for $399 is quite a temptation, and sounds a bit too good to be true.

The DCTV board also says that it already has a paint program (which the
MAST board is supposed to have as well) and can capture video.

Any help/comparision between the two systems would be great. (also, does
anyone have any horror/success stories about either Digital Creations
and or MAST?)
