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... Adam ("There, see?
