-> Due to it's cost/quality ratio, the Mimetics framebuffer was

-> out the interface that the card uses in communicating with the amiga
-> and we have to figure out the addressing scheme it uses to put the
-> 24bit pixel values into its

Errr. Well, I don't know too much about its addressing schemes but if 
there's still time you might want to double check on whether or not you 
want to use this board. I've heard bad things in terms of customer 
relations with the company, and have it from a very reliable source that 
the board itself does internal gamma correction without telling you 
about it, decreasing the s/n of your picture.
