I, too, ordered a fast serial card for my Amiga 2000, instead of buying a
graphics card. It's an IO Blix card, and I should have it around Wednesday.
My opinion is that, if I were to buy a graphics card, I'd still have the
bottleneck imposed by the built-in serial port. After reading about the card,
and how it speeds access while lessening the overhead on the CPU, I
made the decision to buy one. When I get a 4000, I can just take the card
and install it in that.

When mine is installed, I'll relay the results to the group, if it would be
helpful.

Staring into the maze of time
Our existence caught in the blink of an eye
Imagining other worlds we try
Realizing somehow we're all part of this
Wondrous cosmical tapestry!
