	Due to the excellent success i had with my request on the 
Zilog SCC chip, i decided to post again concerning another piece
of hardware that we wish to employ.

	We have currently designed a Video Graphics Circuit based
around the Intel 82786 VCP as the core. But to our suprise, local  
suppliers have discontinued this chip, and Intel informed me that
they are no longer manufacturing this chip. 

	So i had a quick flick through our Co-Processor manuals to 
see whats avail. I found a TMS34061FNL IC claiming it was capable
of delivering high qual displays and has the ability to manage its 
own memory. Has anyone had any dealing with this chip.
Could they give me some feed back on what it is like in performance
and ability to program. Would it be considered capable of producing
640x480 in 256 colours, with its own bit map memory.


thanks in advance
