[net.micro.pc] !!! WANTED !!! AT graphic card

midi@qtecmuc.UUCP (05/19/86)

I'm looking for a powerful grafic card for my IBM-AT.
It should have the following features:
	
	- HITACHI's HD63484 Controller,
	- 8 bitplanes,
	- RGB 40..50 MHz output (interlaced),
	- at least 1024x768 resolution.

Does anyone know of such a card ?

MATROX is going to have a card in July/86, but with 3-D hardware
and 104 MHz output, which is too much for me.
If this card is in development anywhere, I'd be interested in
writing Software, esp. Terminal emulations.

Thanks for Information

Check Imagraph Corp (Woburn, MA) 617-938-5480
They have a 1024 x 1024 x 8, 30 hz interlaced, Hitachi 63484 board for you.
Also Number Nine Inc. (Cambridge, MA). Same as Imagraph board. If you are not
insisting on Hitachi chip, consider INI (Salt Lake City), and Parallax
Graphics (Sunnyvale, CA). They both have proprietary chips doing much more
than Hitachi ever dreamed of. Also, a new Intel grapgics chip just announced,
supported by Number Nine (soon) and probably many others.

	My company (New Media Graphics Corporation) is working on a
	graphics card for the IBM AT which meets all the specs you
	listed.   Unfortunately, it also exceeds them, in that it also
	includes a 68020 (12.5, 16.67 or 20 MHz) and a 68881 FPU
	(optional).   The performance is simply awesome.   You may
	have to wait awhile for it, since the first 68020 board won't
	go to fab until next week (the other boards are already done).
	I don't know when it will be available to anyone other than
	OEMs, but believe me, if you can, it's worth the wait.   Oh,
	it's being priced competetively with the IBM PGA.
