Basically, it's a new daughter board (the second layer board on the TWGS), it'll cost $109 (pricey, imho), and it started shipping friday. He made it sound like it could be a do it yourself kit, because he mentioned popping out the old board, putting in the new one, and cutting a couple of tracers on the back of the card. The only problem with that, is you lose your warranty (my guess). He also said it made a bigger difference than running at 10 mhz (which his current card runs at), and he said it made a big difference, especially for graphics... just to let you know. later Steven Chiang Coming Soon: DreamGrafix 3200 color power stc7@cunixb.cc.columbia.edu America On_Line: DWS Steve Apple IIgs Forever! # With a 4 line .sig, which is all my mailer will post! :P #
