I haven't seen anything about a 160 MFLOP rendering board for the
amiga, but the Resolver Graphics Coprocessor was reviewed in "Amiga
World" September issue on page 18.  It boasts a 2048x2048 resolution
and doesn't take up the video slot, and you can have more than one in
an amiga.  It delivers 1024x1024 non-interlaced and 2048x2048
interlace at 256 color (pallete 16.7 million).  But at $1295 for a
base model, It's a big investment.  Maybe when prices come down.....
