   If this is the case (and it seems probable) I should imagine C= or a 3rd party
   will be in the add on high-spec video board market fairly soon (C= at least
   already has a 8-bit beast I believe.) But what good is this to AmigaOS 2.0?
   Would an entirely new graphics/layers.library be needed? Any info?

Given that I stumbled across a preferences selector that had "default
video" in it, I'd hope so. In fact, I hope that this means that adding
video cards is about like adding printers - you install the hardware,
copy the appropriate magic file to the appropriate magic directory,
then twiddle preferences to use the selection that you haven't seen
before.

And now for a hardware question: how much of the A3000 hardware is
tied to the clock rate? The cpu has to be, and I hope the memory is,
but how about the IO hardware, etc?

Or, from another perspective, what's the difference between the
A3000/25 and an A3000/16 with a 25MHz '030 in it?
