In the Nov 5, 1990 issue of UNIX Today!, page 14 of the Comdex Guide there
is the annoucement that SGI will be showing their new product "IrisVision".
IrisVision is a two board set for IBM PC clones. The AT bus version will
be $3495 for the 8bit version, and $4995 for the 24bit version. The
Micro Channel 8bit version will be $3995 when it becomes available in Jan.
Does anybody have detailed specs they can post? Does it have Z-buffering?
Is it a subset/equal to/superset of the standard or Turbo version of the
Personal IRIS? Is it interlaced? Is there a genlock option? And of
course, does a certain network stress test program work ;-) ;-) ;-).
Inquiring minds want to know.
Thanks & B Cing U

IrisVision is nearly identical to the midrange graphics boards in the IBM RS/6000 and based on the standard graphics of the Personal Iris. Z-buffer is included. Forest Baskett Silicon Graphics
