@Hypex

Yes I agree mostly to all but all I want demonstrate quoting existence of cards like TiGA Texas Instuments TMS series based, is that Amiga had (at those times) enough horsepower and raised enough interest by developers just as like its competitors.

I made originally more articulated comment one week ago, when you answered me, but unfortunately my IP was automatically banned by Amigaworld as it happens too many often randomly with entire ranges of dozens local IPs.

In the meanwhile I read again specs of TiGA card from Lowell University on Big Book of Amiga Hardware and It was better than I expected as it performed 8 bit palette even at 1024*1024 max resolution, plus AmigaOS drivers were made available, opposite to what I remember...

@ Others

A2500 Amix was priced in range from 3999 to 5999 US$ of that age (I don't remember exactly), that was really expensive for average Joe User but a complete bargain for institutions like Lowell University (or perhaps professional studios or privates) if you think that dedicated graphic machines like PCs powered with Targa graphic solutions were priced around 12.999 bucks, and Macs were primitive B/W machines before MacII come out.
