Is this memory mapped into the Amiga address space, or addressed through
a port?

How can you color cycle a 24 bit image?

How much does it cost?

And, if it doesn't take any Amiga memory, how can the Copper and Blitter
access it?  And how can Intuition access it?

The Blitter and Copper can only access Amiga Chip RAM yet you said
>Pictures can be loaded into this memory and use no Amiga chip RAM.
and if Intuition is going to access it, that'd mean that you've written
your own graphics.library and intuition.library and layers.library?
