Hi Ethan. Umm. It doesn't sound like you read the articles at all. This thread was about making CDTV gfx amazingly better than the capabilities of its competition. Obviously you can't start on that road until you know what the competition has. So I posted specs. Here, I'll summarize again: A 68xxx (base cpu is 15Mhz 68070) computer with _dual_ video subsystems, each of which has a copper and blitter, DYUV/3/4/7/8/15-bit gfx out of at least 4 million colors; plus hardware special effects between the two. You honestly wouldn't wish features like those for the Amiga? If not, then I guess you have no need for DCTV or Colorburst or HAM or Firecracker or any kind of basic gfx upgrade ;-). But seriously... The rest of your message I might respond to in .advocacy, since most was non-hardware/technical in nature. thanks - kevin
