We are talking about Cybergraphics, a replacement interface/WB emulation 
for most of the popular graphics boards, that offers a main standard in 
retargetable graphics.  So 24bit programs etc. written in compliance 
with CyberGFX, will run on a variety of cards (with CyberGFX emu) since 
the programs will not be hardware dependent.

: RetinaEMU is real great, as it is very stable.
: My friend, who runs a RetinaZ3 tried Cgfx. Now he uses RetinaEmu as it`s faster
: and there are rather no crashes of the Gfx.Emulation.

My main reason for wanting CyberGFX is for greater compatibility with 
software because of standardized rtg.  There is alot more software 
available via CyberGFX than with the RetinaEmu.  And AFAIK, 
CyberGFX is indeed faster than most of the emul software already included 
with graphics boards.

L8r, Vince.
