What I would be most interested in would be a 24-bitplane board which could be configured as two 12-bitplane buffers. This would require a 4096 color lookup table but would allow doublebuffered rendering with a 4096 color palette from 16 million. I've done this for years on the older IRISs we have here at work and it is very good for interactive animation.
