I know it's really annoying to post a message just to correct someone,
but I'll add something at the end, I guess...
The apple board is about $350 (or was two years ago when I got my II) and
the expansion memory costs (nowadays) $70 tops. Which means that you're
about $600 off. I'll admit that from what I've seen of the RasterOps
board, it's a nice board, but please don't compare it to the Apple board
as far as cost goes (quality-wise, it's hands-down in favor of the Raster
Ops board).

Apple claims that you can't use the NTSC hack with any board but theirs. Well,
I don't want to put words in their collective mouth, but it says specifically
that you need an "Apple 4- or 8-bit video card" to do the hack...
