    Well, that's kinda it. I've not seen the performance of the S24 (TCX)
    or a Leo (ZX) on sparc32, but I get the impression that they're not that
    stellar themselves. These days, I use my Ultra 1/170E with a Creator 3D
    in it, which is just plain fine to use... but that's not an option on
    your ss20, and not even on all Ultra 1s.

    Be happy that you at least have 24-bit video on a 32-bit SPARC... not
    everyone is as fortunate as you. ;)
