If Angus is a custom VHSIC chip as I believe the other two display
chips are then I can't imagine how a "redesign" is going to help
you now.  It might appear in Amigas down the pike, but not soon
since design of these chips costs MONEY!

This is just my opinion based on what I know of the bahavior of
sales people.
