[net.graphics] looking for a video/graphics board

marc@mouton.UUCP (11/06/84)

I am looking for a "good" Multibus video board.  Preferably one
with support for BITBLT type operations on the board to reduce the
overhead of scrolling in a multiple window display.  Other niceties
such as mappable screen memory, etc. would be great although having
a board capable of doing block transfers is what I am really looking for.

Also, are there any good monitors for the above.  Black and white
is sufficient.
