That means, no (absolutely NO) software uses it. Bazbo Soft and Impulse denied that they're working on conversions of Photon Paint and Turbo Silver. The Frambuffer sounds interesting. It's sold in Germany for 3000 mark. But can I get the pictures to video? What video signal does the card use? VD-1? Never heard of that. What is it? -- ------------------------------------ Chris Brand - wizard@sosaria.imp.com "Justice is the possession and doing of what one is entitled to" - Platon ------------------------------------

In-Reply-To: message from wizard@sosaria.UUCP The Mimetics FrameBuffer retails for about $750 w/FrameCapture chipset installed (you'll need to install 1MEG on the board as well)...it has BNC video input and output...no RGB. If you're going out to a good TV/Moniter, the pictures look nice, although the colors are a little *BRIGHT*. The VD-1 is similar to this one, but is an external box that plugs into your parallel port...it retails for about $1000. If you plan on using one of these, make sure you have atleast 2MB, and a program that can generate 21-24bit pictures (Scupt, TSilver, D-View, etc.) Sean

Ah, about RGBExchange, It's 150k ZOOed so a UUENCODED version sent over the
net mail system would be impossible. Call my BBS # below and download it if
you can because I can't send it over the net. If you wish, I can mail it to
you on disk if you send me a disk and a return mailer.
