[ Would the answers to this be useful in the introductory posting to c.s.a ? ]

I have several questions concerning the new graphic chipset:

        - What resolutions will be supported? Interlaced/non-interlaced?
        - How many colours will be available in each resolution?
        - What monitors will be required for each resolution
                I currently own a 1084 - is a new monitor required?
        - Will the chips be retrofitable into a stock 1000?
        - Any approximate guesses as to pricing for an upgrade to the new set?
                (non-committal ballpark guesses from CA would be appreciated!)
                - are we talking <$100, <200 ?
        - Are they likely to be available to the average consumer in 1989?


All info/comments appreciated.
