Marc,
You almost hit the nail on the head but instead you got your thumb. ;-)
The original development of our product started about the same time as
the first Live! ad.  Since there were no 24 bit digitizers back then,
we bought a few Targa-24's and built an address decoder to bridge the
PC/Amiga busses.  The software talked to the Targa board until our
hardware product was ready.  In order to save time, the software
design and hardware design had to be run in paralell (sp?) so our Amiga
board had similar specs to the Targa product in addition to some other
features we needed like Amiga video overlayed on our graphic output.
