If it uses cybergraphics library directly, it won't run on a native picasso display. If it uses vilintuisup.library, it probably won't run on a CV64. OK, there is a vilintuisup replacement shipped with CyberGfx, but I don't know what they thought they were doing there, practically nothing runs with this (either double buffering does not work, or the 24 bit color model is wrong, resulting in a garbled display)... : think there's going to be much more software for it. The speed diffreence is : fasr more important than the egs-matter I think. Besides the CV64 is Zorro3, : the Picasso is Zorro2, and the SPectrum both. The spectrum is out of : production btw. Right, in a Zorro3 system, the CV64 is the way to go... it is MUCH faster than a Picasso...
