Uhhh sorry.  Consider those words eaten until I get a third opinion.

I was using a faulty source -> the technical info sent by Atari to
developers <- darn unreadable photocopies!  The newer stuff may have this 
correct, BUT NOBODY TOLD ME!

And who says I worship Amigas?  You may, however, replace "genlocking" with
Hold And Modify, copperlists, pre-analog RGB (12 digital bits-A2000 only)
etc, etc...

   -Me-

PS. I *do*, however, worship toasters, washer/dryer sets and other major
    appliances. 8-)
