Well, sort of. I run DCTV on my 500 and it gets painfully slow at
times -- like when committing one image after another. It likes a
fatter agnus hooked up...something I'm having done on Monday at my
dealer real soon. An accelerator would be nice as well. If I didn't
have a hard drive, storing pictures would be near impossible...so
you're right about that part. I've also got 3 meg of Ram -- only
1/2 K of which is chip. Gotta have the Fatter Agnus.

For a monitor I use a cheap Goldstar T.V., so no words of wisdom
there. :-)
