Summary: another "verified" rumor


I'm not one to spread rumors, so I made sure this one was for sure
before I posted this.

There is a new Denise chip, which will (hopefully) be released along
with the new 1-meg Agnes chip, sometime RSN.

Details were sketchy, and I really had to pull teeth (seems like C-A
doesn't want details out just yet. Maybe it's because rumors of the
'386 bridgeboard and the 2090A have brought the current bridgeboard
and 2090 controller sales to a halt...) 

Higher resolutions, more colors, a "flicker-free" 640x400 mode which
reportedly requires an EGA monitor. (Makes sense, since standard
monitors like the current Amiga ones aren't built for it).

Unfortunately, no truecolor (i.e. Mac II), as they still felt it was
cost-prohibitive at this point in time. Personal comment: big
mistake, guys...

Please don't start a rash of new rumors, but if anyone else has real
info, for heavens sake, let us now!
