Hi, what is the highest resolution graphics controller available for micro channel. I need 1280x1024 with at least 16 colors. If such a beast exists could you give me the company's address or fax number. Thank you very much in advance. Timo Eronen, phaethon at mammutti.utu.fi

Hi, I don't know if this is what you are looking for or not, but the Matrox PG-1281 C/8/1.5M does 1280 x 1024 resolution and has a colour palette of 16 M. I don't know how many colours it can display at the same time at once at that resolution, but 2 M of video memory, I suppose it is very possible that it supports at least 16 colours. You can optionally add another 1.5 M of RAM (in bytes) According the BYTE magazine (November 89.. I don't know if you get it or not but...) it has an article on these 34010-based graphics boards. This board can run in PS/2s and its standard mode are CGA, EGA text and has support for PGA I believe. There is a 50 MHz 34010 processor in stalled and it runs AutoCAD very nicely, according to the magazine. Matrox Electronic Systems Ltd (the product is the PG-1281 C/8/1.5M) 1055 St. Regis Dorval, Quebec H9P 2T4, Canada (514)685-2630 I don't know if this is a voice or fax number. Good luck in finding what you want; I hope this helps. Wayne --- ConfMail V3.31 * Origin: MeTaStAsIo'S -`Not ready error reading drive A' (416)487-9093 (1:250/526)
