[net.micro.pc] colorful graphics board?

mayo@ucbvax.ARPA (Bob Mayo) (07/10/85)

Does anybody know of a graphics board for the IBM-PC that can display lots
of colors (at least 64) at a good resolution (at least 320 X 200)?  The
ideal card would be about 640 X 400 and 256 colors.  The cards that I've been
able to find can only display a couple of colors unless they are used at
very low resolutions.

All pointers and leads appreciated, I'll post a summary if there is enough 
interest.

	If I remember correctly, the IBM Professional Graphics Controller
gives 640 x 480 resolution, 256 colors out of 4k pallette.  Of course, it
is cost-prohibitive, the whole system costing over $3000.
	I would be interested in any information you receive, also.
