I was just wondering about. CBM showed the Vision Card running in the A3000UX on the Ami-Expo in Berlin. There was a screen device and a seperate Monitor. But, recently, i am not very sure. Could someone else proove it ? If it was not the card from X-Pert, then it was another card. But it was nice to see the Amiga running X11R4 on a high-resolution card/monitor !
