YES, on 23-Pin (Flicker)

YES, the 1950 is a multisync.

YES, it is a standard Amiga 23-Pin output

No, not at 24-bit pictures.

I don`t know.

I take a look at the COLORBURST today at the Amiga-Show in Berlin,Germany.
It was connected at the 23-Pin RGB-output at an A3000.
At the 15-pin VGA was a 1950. At the COLORBURST was a big TV-Screen.
You CAN, but you MUST NOT connect a second Monitor (1084 or TV with RGB)
at the back of the COLORBURST. Then you see the Normal Amiga Screen
(deinterlaced) on the 1950 and the COLORBURST 24-bit screen on the 1084.
I you have only one monitor, it has to be connected at the back of the
COLORBURST. (with flicker)
COLORBURST comes with a paint-programm and a pic-converter.
I remember TARGA, MAC-TIFF, IFF-24, TURBO/IMAGINE, SCULPT-rawRGB,....?

My own feeling is:
It is a cheap hardware-utilitie to display the fine images, we can produce
with all the raytrace/render-programms.
I hope, that many people will buy this tool, so that there will be more
software and it will become a "standard".

I must wait a little, because i just buy a faster V.32bis modem.

so long,
Achim
