Well, that's been the problem really. I have been at the mercy of these guys and their indecisions. I already made a complete spec of the new emulation helper plug-in card I designed for the Amiga, which can also be made virtually (FPGA) and that has the video info in the spec.
At some point in the not-so-distant future I am just going to require adhering to what I designed with no chance of input. The changes I made allow the use of higher screen resolutions (along with their colors modes), than what existed on the Macs of the era. This required the entire video driver core to be re-written and it WAS an opportune time for FPGA emulator folks to chime in and setup a portal to the frame buffer info.
