Yeah, my A2320 was a second-hand acquision as well - but was added a couple of years after the PicassoII RTG Card. It passes-through native screens using a connection to the Picasso.

I play few games so it takes mostly the Startup Screen that I use in booting 3.1 which I use for ProWrite 3.3! ProWrite can be retargeted by the original PicassoII Driver; but not by 3.5's Picasso96!

Its an interesting fact that the original PicassoII Driver can handle Screen Dragging, but Picasso96 can not! When I'm doing postal mail with ProWrite, I commonly drag down the WB to COPYnPASTE the addresses to an envolope-printing utility.

TVPaint and a RTG Card really make an accellerated A2000 shine . . . . . . .
