Hello out there, I am searching for a graphics adapter which is compatible to the IBM 8514/A and which fits onto the standard AT-bus. Is there any company who makes sucha thing ( Headland, Genoa, Tseng ? ) Please respond to this group ( others may by interested too ) or ( if possible ) to my bitnet-adress. Thanks R.

The trade press indicates Headland, (Video 7), Western Digital (Paradise), Chips and Technologies, and others are busy on chipsets that will emulate the IBM 8514/A at the register level. At the moment, it looks like every is shooting for a fall Comdex showing.

Those that have leaked hints (that I am aware of) are Headland, Paradise/WDI, Genoa (I think, but I may be wrong ;^), and STB (I do the leaking here...). Paradise or Headland will probably release the first one, since they are also the chip developers, and I have seen a demonstration of an "almost functional" Paradise card. So they will become real soon (in the cosmic sense of time...). > Thanks > R.
