	Marc, do you understand what those little letters MEAN?  They mean
an easy way for manufacturers to make Amiga-compatible graphics cards!
If 3rd-party companies can build graphics cards that can instantly plug
into any Amiga and work in all modes, who cares if *Commodore* brings out
new chips?

	DIG/RTG is a general solution to a big problem.  A new Commodore
chipset would be a short-term solution to a particular problem.
