I'm looking for a hi-res colour graphics board (320x200 ok; 640x400 great) for
the PC that has at least 4 bit pixels AND A COLOUR TABLE; i.e. any of the 16
pixel values can be mapped to any of the output colours (16 in the case of the
IBM colour display) and the mapping can be changed very quickly.
The Plantronics COLORPLUS, new Tecmar Graphics Master, and the QuadRam
Quadcolor III all satisfy the resolution and pixel depth requirements, but
I've never heard a colour table mentioned. The IBM graphics card has a
table of sorts, in that one is allowed to choose the palette for 320x200
mode, but it would be better if instead of choosing one of two fixed
palettes, one could choose a colour to be assigned to each of the 4 possible
pixel values.
Any other info on the Tecmar and QuadRam boards would be most welcome. I'll
post a summary to the net given sufficient response.
