[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Genoa VGA card

elee24@castle.ed.ac.uk (H Bruce) (06/12/90)

I have the option of buying (very cheaply) a SVGA card made by
Genoa Systems Corp. of San Jose CA.
I wish to program the card in the high-res 256 colour modes.
Does anyone know if this card is compatible with any of the more popular cards ?
(eg Orchid, Paradise, Video & etc).
Has anyone heard of Genoa corp ?

Thanks,

HB

I have a Genoa SuperVGA, model 5100 card.  I am *very* happy with it.

They are local to me, still very much in business, and offer a tech-line
to call.  It takes them about a day to return calls though, and the
switchboard is all that horrid automated voice-mail type of system.
