[comp.sys.ibm.pc] VGA on PC?

c60b-ia@buddy.Berkeley.EDU (Sugih Jamin) (10/02/87)

Hello,

I have an old Tandy 1000HD, which is supposed to be PC compatible, I wonder
if it is possible to add a VGA compatible graphics controller to my box?

If yes, could anybody suggest any good board?  The one from Video7 is 
supposed to be able to coexist with another grahics board--the Tandy's
graphics controller comes with the motherboard.

Thank's.

I just got info from STB systems about thier new VGA card.  It looks
  to be a "real" vga clone.  But I would think a 3-4 month wait would 
  be wise, so that alot of clones hit the market, and the price/performance
will be better.
