Antonio, I am not attacking you, simply quoting from memory.  The 
3400 screen only does 800x600 at 16 bit so that leads be to believe it 
only has 1 MB or VRAM.  I may be wrong, but the applespec doesnt 
explicity state one way or another.

Let us know how it works out.  I read the pdf you sent, but the 
babblefish translation makes it hard to tell if it actually works or 
not.  I was hoping all the support circuitry was there, but it looks 
as if soldering the VRAM chips in is only the start.
