I'm seriously considering to buy that Rasterops 24-bit videocard
(hell, I sold my SE to buy a IIcx just to be able to use the card ;)
but I'd like to hear other people's experiences. Anyone using it now?
Have there been reviews in the Mac press?
And: will it, in some future, support PAL output? (I'd prefer HD-MAC
output, but then again...;)

Related question: can anyone enlighten me on the average street-price
of a Mac IIcx in the States? Will prices drop when the new macs hit the
street?
