[net.graphics] Hitachi 63484 Graphics Controller

shep@datacube.UUCP (09/07/85)

Has anyone used the Hitachi HD63484 chip? It appears to be a lot
more flexible than last generation's 7220s and clones.

The chip is an "Advanced CRT controller" (read Graphics controller)
with some powerful primatives. I have Hitachi's #U75 handbook on the
part; which I take to be the sole reference.

I would like to interchange questions with other (potential) users
of the part.

It sings, it dances, it plays the flute and harpsichord simultaneously...
and it still can't do RasterOp, so to h**l with it.
