As far as PC Speed vs. PC Ditto II I think PC Ditto II will be a better 
product. PC Speed is only going to support CGA. They are working on 16 color
EGA for PC Ditto II-and you will get 16 color EGA out of your standard Atari
SC1224 monitor. The price for PC Ditto II is $299. I think the EGA option
(which, by the way, they say will be the only other addition to the PC Ditto
II board) will cost extra. The original PC Ditto II release will not have it.
