	I have the HAM-E board. The results from it are very
good. Despite people's complaints about lack of resolution, when
you have 260K simultaneous colors, the 320 horiz resolution seems
more than adequate. There are also plans for an upgrade (I know
the method but was sworn to secrecy 8) to give it the equivalent
of 640 horiz resolution. 
	The reason the results are better than normal HAM is
because you don't just have 16 color registers, you have 256. The
results are really good and the output quality hasn't been warped
into NTSC.
