TurboRez Info

Here's the latest about TurboRez, straight from Bill St Pierre via
Scott Gentry via the Friday Apple II Graphics Chat on AOL:

Apparently, Bill is having difficulty purchasing the small quantities
of some parts he needs from the suppliers.  They are not filling his
orders promptly, instead giving him scraps of cancelled orders here
and there.  Because of this, Bill is considering going to custom
chips.  If he does this, he expects to add more features.

As mentioned before, 640x200x256 colors.
Twice as much display memory (currently has enough to support two pages).
Blitter.
Hardware display list processing.

The latter two additions make sprite-like operations a possibility.

Bill St Pierre will be at Apple Expo West, Booth #335.  He'll have
three IIGSs with TurboRezs in them.
