RasterOps has come out with a board for MacII's that is a QuickDraw accelerator.It is called the 'ColorBoard 118' and is supposed to speed up QuickDraw
60 times!!! It seems to be way over priced, $3195,in my opinion. Anyway to
make a short question long, why doesn't Apple finally put some graphic(s)
chips into its Mac line? Seems to me that a graphics accelerator would be a
fantastic selling point considering what an Amgia or Atari ST can do in the
way of speed with graphics intensive applications. Why not, Apple? I don't
think it would cost you too much would it? ( mabye the wrong button to push...)
I would much rather have fast graphics than sound for example if a trade off
would need to be made(which should not be necessary, look at the Amiga!)
NO I DO NOT OWN AN AMIGA OR AN ATARI! I have a MACII thank you very much!
Give us something to smoke an Amiga with Apple!!!
