You must have made a typo when you typed "SPAV handles 8-bit color and the SPAV handles 24-bit color". My Spigot Pro AV does 24 bit color and will work in either a 68K AV or a PPC AV. Like I mentioned in an earlier posting, the only difference that the manual mentions is the ribbon cable needed on the PMacs. On the 68K AV's the cable is not required because of the AV extension on the Nubus slot.
I assumed that the Spigot Pro AV was in the market before the Spigot Power AV due to the fact that the 840av was in the market before the Nubus Power Mac AV's. But I didn't buy either one when they were new... I assumed that the Spigot Power AV (Mark Benson mentioned it by name) was what Radius called the Spigot Pro AV once they added the cable. I'm pretty sure my older Video Spigot is only 8 bit, but then again, I've never used it...
