I would like to ask about people's ideas for an auxiliary frame buffer for
the Amiga. I have a few ideas of my own which I would like to incorporate
into a hacker project, but I would like to know what other people think
before I start designing the thing. Here is a short list of capabilities I
would like to endow upon my creation:
1) Will work as FAST expansion RAM.
2) 15 bits per pixel, 5 each RGB and one ignored on 16 bit bus.
3) Will accept digital RGB input - can grab frames.
4) tied to Amiga timing - genlockable with appropriate adaptor.
5) will de-interlace with double-buffering.
6) will work as scan doubler for flicker-free 3D applications.

Comments? Criticisms?
Mail me and I will post a summary.
