  I have one question about the BlackBelt box, will it work with the
new ECS modes ---namely the 1280 horizontal modes?  If that is the
case, then is it possible that it will be able to display 640X400 
images with a precision of 24bits?(16 million colors)  with a
palette of 256 or the 200K+ colors of HAM-E mode?

 If this thing hits the streets, it'll blow away competing
framebuffers and really nail down the Amiga as a viable raytracing
tool.   Imagine, 24bit animations!  DPaint with 256 colors!  Boy,
those palette sliders will have to be modified to support 256 shades
instead of only 16!
