[comp.sys.atari.st] PC-Ditto II/ PC-Speed

Xorg@cup.portal.com (Peter Ted Szymonik) (10/10/89)

I haven't seen PC-Speed yet, niether have Dave Small or Jim Allen.
Their comments were that it was Germany, it was supposed to be good,
it does require soldering, and that they can't guarantee that it will
work with Spectre GCR or the FAST Technologies 16mhz board (in fact
I think Mr Allen said for sure that it wouldn't work with the accel board
because of the soldering connection.)

As far as PC Speed vs. PC Ditto II I think PC Ditto II will be a better 
product. PC Speed is only going to support CGA. They are working on 16 color
EGA for PC Ditto II-and you will get 16 color EGA out of your standard Atari
SC1224 monitor. The price for PC Ditto II is $299. I think the EGA option
(which, by the way, they say will be the only other addition to the PC Ditto
II board) will cost extra. The original PC Ditto II release will not have it.

  Since we're on the subject of PC emulation, can someone explain the 
defferent graphic modes (VGA, CGA, etc) available, and what the emulators
can emulate.
