I was just wondering about. CBM showed the Vision Card running in the A3000UX 
on the Ami-Expo in Berlin. There was a screen device and a seperate Monitor.
But, recently, i am not very sure. Could someone else proove it ?

If it was not the card from X-Pert, then it was another card. But it was nice to
see the Amiga running X11R4 on a high-resolution card/monitor !
(With a 3-Button-Mouse from CBM  :-)
