A general remark for those talking about the percieved quality 
of HAM-E images here...

No device can do any better than what you feed into it. The images 
on the release disk are normal DigiView or GIF files, for the 
most part. They went thru our software just like anything you 
can do. If people are not getting good images on their own, then 
this is a matter of technique - the images on the release disk, 
and for that matter the ones on our BBS, make perfectly clear 
that you can get truly beautiful images on the HAM-E.

We stand behind the product - and if anyone has any doubts, we 
suggest that they go to a dealer who is handling the HAM-E or 
to one of the AmiExpos, which we attend, and LOOK at the image 
quality. We've never had someone come up to the booth and say 
that it produces a low quality picture.

I don't recall who numbered the units, but although I totally 
disagree with the system they used, I've seen all of them so 
far, and would number them thus:

 FireCracker 9
 ColorBurst  9
 HAM-E     7/8, depending on the mode reg/hame
 Toaster   4-5, depending on how much color is in the image
 DCTV      4-5, same as toaster.

These are given good images to feed all of the above.
