does anyone know of any solutions for 24bit video on a non-creater ultra 1
since it has been brought up? i'd be interested in it. from my work it
appears a expensive ZX board might be my only option unless someone knows
anything else

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. ;)
