 Finally? I sure hope this is true, allthough I like RetinaEmu I really would
 appreciate a CGX-driver for the Retiana ZII for future compatibility.
 BTW I was told by someone at MacroSystem NL that RetinaEmu is no longer
 developed, MacroSystem will switch to CyberGFX for their Retinas.
 This way they don't have to worry about updating RetinaEmu and have more time
 for the further development of their Draco. He couldn't tell me however
 whether there will be a CGX Retina ZII-driver. I hope that they've made up
 their minds. (or maybe someone else has....)  

 VG> I have heard of EGS, 

 Once upon a time there was .... It's no longer developed and I 've heard
 that it was hell for developers. When they had written a program for the
 average Amiga, they had to rewrite it allmost entirely to make it fully 
 compatibel with EGS.

 These rumours could be a logical next step for MacroSystem.

 I have a A2000/030 33Mhz 2 Mb Chip 8 Mb Fast and although the 256 color
 800 x 600 Workbench is a bit slow I can work with it pretty well 
 1024 x 768 256 colors works the same. But usually I prefer a plain
 4 color 1024x768 Workbench which works absolutely fabukous :-))
