The Atari has a maximum possible resolution, using every trick in the book, of something like 262 by 704 by 512 colors. The Amiga has a maximum resolution, again using every trick in the book, of 525 by 704 by 4096 colors. You can't get a non-interlaced image with 3-bit DACs to equal an interlaced image with 4-bit DACs. Either will, of course, beat up on machines like the Apple-IIGS. -- Peter "Have you hugged your wolf today" da Silva `-_-' Hackercorp. ...texbell!sugar!peter, or peter@sugar.uu.net 'U`
