TurboRez is dead.
Ok, I just found this in my mailbox. Someone else had said something
about it, but had not been able to confirm it.

News from RezTek
Subject: Status of TurboRez GS
As of the above date, production of the TurboRez GS board has been
suspended and will not be resumed. It's been a long, difficult path
over the years, with various versions of the product appearing
periodically. At this point, however, the project is being laid to
rest and RezTek will not be developing any standalone video boards
for the Apple II in the future. Despite getting about as close as
we've ever been to completing the product, there's no arguing with
the fact that the competing board from Sequential Systems is not
only beating us out the door by 3-4 months but also has the clear
advantage in the price category. Rather than subject ourselves to
an economically bruising battle and putting the Apple II marketplace
thru a VHS/Beta type product war, we decided this was the best course
of action. This will insure a single, standard upgrade path.
So, for those Apple IIe/IIGS users who are interested in enhancing
the video output of their computers, we'd like to suggest and recommend
the Second Sight video card from Sequential Systems (which should be
shipping right about now). Sequential is a company known for putting
out solid, well-designed products in the past, and the Second Sight
card looks to be no exception. Here at RezTek, we're looking into the
distinct possibility of supporting the Second Sight product sometime
in the near future. Stay tuned for more on that subject...
