Does anyone have a Colorburst board/device from MAST?  Anyone familiar
with it beyond what is in the ads and brochures?  I'd like to hear
comments about it along the lines of Harv Laser's quick overview of
DCTV.  As I understand it, Colorburst is 24-bit (while DCTV is not),
Colorburst does not caputure (while DCTV does), Colorburst outputs in
RGB (while DCTV does NTSC).  Can anyuone expand on this or discuss the
advantages/disadvantages, particularly in regard to using the device
for making videotapes (static pix or anims)?  Can anyone comment on
the paint software that comes with Colorburst?  

Email if you like, but I think it would be interesting to see a discussion
of the various high zoot graphics devices here...
