I would love to have a nice flickerless high resolution high color display.

Is this possible on my A1200 (060/64mb fast) with NO flickerfixer and No GFX card ?


High-color can be done at 12-bits per pixel but the resolution suffers because the only way to get that color depth without using HAM8 is with Copper Chunky.  This limits you to about 180x256 resolution at high-color.  Otherwise, there is a chunky-to-HAM8 converter that yields about 18 BPP in high-resolution.  It works but is quite slow.
