You should be aware of the fact that NVDI currently ONLY seems to work
well in monochrome resolutions and actually slows down GEM operations
in the other TT screen resolutions. It's also somewhat slower than
either Turbo ST or Quick ST 2 when running on an ST, and also slower than
Quick ST 3 when running on the TT in a monochrome screen resolution.
Currently there is only one product available (and I'm sure you can guess
what it is) that not only runs on the TT (sorry Turbo ST!) but actually
significantly speeds up ALL TT screen resolutions (sorry NVDI!).  :-)
