System requirements: A2000/2500/3000. Price TBA IBM? That's real cute. You can use an IBM to compile the code, then dump it to the Amiga, which shoots it up to the board, since there isn't a 680x0 version of the 340x0 cross compiler. I don't think that was what the description was supposed to say though. Besides, PP&S wasn't using an IBM, they've been using a Compaq ;-). >VideoMaster 32 >A 32-bit dual frame buffer board with 24-bit painting and 24-bit >digitizing capability.
