Somebody is REALLY confused!!  There are only two display cards at
present, the A2320 Display Enhancer board for the A2000 machines and the
A2410 Hi-Res Graphics Card for the A2000/A3000 class machines. 
The A2320 is a de-interlacer/scan-doubler card (US list of $299) that
functions just like the display enhancer circuitry in the A3000.  The
A2410 is a framebuffer/graphics card that allows programmable
resolutions up to 1024x1024 (at 89Mhz pixel rates) with 256 (plus three
overlay colors) on-screen colors out of a palette of 16.8 million
(24-bit) and has its' own TI34010 50Mhz graphics processor chip.

Scott Hood
