[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Paradise VGA Plus/16 --> Professional

t36273c@saha.hut.fi (Ari Huttunen) (07/09/89)

I've heard that Paradise's VGA Plus/16 and Paradise's VGA Professional are
'identical'. So, if I put additional 256kB of memory to my Plus/16,
will it become Professional??

I know you just can't plug that memory into Plus/16, but there are eight
(full soldered) places for it (without capacitors).

Anyone tried that? How fast memory is needed? What kind of capacitors?
Will it be able to display 640x480x256 graphics mode, or do I just
get a Plus/16 with 512kB of memory..

  If you get the answer to this question, let me know. I would like
  to upgrade my 16+ as well.

I think (please correct me if I'm wrong) that you CAN'T upgrade Paradise
VGA Plus/16 with additional memory, simply because the layout of the
board doesn't allow that. Sorry, I don't have it at hand now, so I can't
check what I'm saying.
