A recently introduced product from Hercules (Berkeley, CA) called the HGSC (Hercules Graphics Station Controller) is the least expensive such device I have heard of (List $1024, I have seen it advertised for $755 -- at McTek, Berkeley, CA). It does the normal VGA/super VGA modes up to 1024x768 at 8bits/pixel as well as 24 bits/pixel at 512x480 and 15 bits/pixel at 640x480. The standard configuration includes a TI 34010 and 1 MB memory. A version with more memory (not for display, for the 34010) is also announced. It is supposed to implement the TIGA (TI Graphics Adapter?) interface in addition to super VGA. I have seen no reviews yet but I have seen the board at a dealer's shop (McTek). I have no connection with McTek except as a pleased customer. They are at (415) 525-5129.
