I have to admidt, a friend of mine just got one of the first 3 units to
reach the public, and it is everything and more of what Keith said.
In standard 640x200 mode you get the black lines (the other 200) filled
in (things do sort of look blocky).  But the white is *WHITE* and the
blue is *BLUE*.  Just a solid sheet, beautiful.  I sat down with a Sony
1302 and played with the horizontal and vertical size.  Set more rows to
give me 85 column CLIs.  I than turned on interlace workbench.  I stretched
the screen so that a full CLI filled the screen exactly and found the
topaz 8 font to be perfect.  So I had a 47x85 CLI or 48x87(?) VT100.  What
a totally productive environment.

I wish I could put one in my 2000, anybody worked out the jumper connections
you need to make to hook this thing into the 1000?  It has to be possible!
