-   Well, I have owned an Amiga 2000 for several years now, and I
-am getting ready to buy a 3000, but I have one serious question
-before I even begin to get the money ready.
-
-   Does any company have plans to make a video card that will allow
-the Amiga to display 1024x768 resolutions with at *least* 256 colors?
-For $130.00 I can get a Trident card for a 386 PC to do the same.  I
-am *very* surprised that C= didnt make this a standard video display
-mode, or at least something similar.
-
-   Seriously though, anything less that 1024x768x256 just doesnt hack it
-for good looking video anymore, and I am curious if the Amiga 3000 will
-ever handle it.
-
-   The Viedo Toaster solution is obviously not the way to go.  It is
-sort of embarrasing to see a PC display 1024x768x256 for a total
-investment of around $150.00. (not including monitor)
-
-   So, anyone know?  Or is the Amiga doomed to be stuck with 640x400x16
-for the rest of its days....  (If you haven't seen 1024x768x256 before,
-look at it.  It *IS* impressive.

Commodore will RSN (?) sell the ULowell board (TIGA-based) for their
Unix 3000's. What's lacking is the software for AmigaDos.

No pricing info available.
