Hello,

As far as the card is concerned, the TurboRez could have been
very interesting for Apple IIgs programmers who wanted to have
fast animations on the IIgs. The developers' documentation was
really interesting and the card was interesting but I think that
its creator never had time to spend in the development in the
card as he had other things to do, that was quite bad.

Nevertheless if a patch of QuickDraw ever come to life, it will
be interesting to develop software for the SS card !
