But, does XamigaRetina work on the RetinaZ3, if so, does it take

since it's talking to the hardware directly (remember, it loads
a mondef file) I'd bet it does NOT work on the RZ3, too many
things have changed (if that wouldn't be the case, we had one
driver in the kernel for both boards, not too).  >       Does

24 bit modes on the Z2, as it does on the Z3?  Well, just to
answer the question: "yes BUT...". The BUT before means: - you
don't WANT to use it on the Z2 - it would require the banked-
dev-pager extension that I once wrote for the   vm system -
however faking a banked framebuffer into a contigous framebuffer
by help   of the vm-system is just too f**g slow, really,
believe me - that's why I really MEAN my first point :-)  >
Do they both use the grf interface?  If
