The GVP EGS 28/24 Spectrum board is better.  Get the 2-meg version of the board.  Then you will be able to use 24-bit mode.  Both the Picasso and CyberVision drivers work with this card.  This board works very well together with Commodore's A2320 "Amber" board and comes with a cable for that board.  I have a GVP EGS 28/24 Spectrum board in my Amiga 2500 computer and I have been very happy with it.  A few words of warning:  The 2 megs on the board is part of the Zorro II bus 8-meg limit, so you MUST use a processor board with at least 8 megs of 32-bit memory or you will get out of memory system crashes in 24-bit mode.  Do NOT go beyond 800 X 600 resolution unless you have a 68060 board.  I have mine set at 640 X 480, 24-bit and it looks great.  The higher the screen resolution, the slower your computer will get.  Keep in mind that most Amiga software uses screen resolutions of between 320 X 200 to 640 X 400 with only 8 to 32 colors.
My favorite TV shows:  Star Trek Voyager, Forever Knight, Stargate SG1, Married with Children, As Time Goes By, Mr. Bean, Smallville, The Six Million Dollar Man, and Xena
