A Mail Order place called MacOne in NY had an ad in MacWeek for $719,
"now shipping."  Best price I've seen.

This sounds like a killer board.  Any performance stats for 24-bit
mode v. 8-bit mode v. etc?  How about in comparison to Apple's 8 bit,
or their competitors?  Certainly, using a Brooktree 473 RAMDAC (look at its
picture) is a great idea.  Awaiting a good review summary, here or 
in print...
