What 24-bit cards are available that work with Apple's Hi-Res RGB Monitor? Obviously, the Apple 8-24 [GC] qualifies, and I believe the SuperMac ColorCard/24 also does. Are there any others? Has anyone a recommendation or preference for a particular card? Darryl E. Marsee Syracuse University <demarsee@gamera.cns.syr.edu>

Greetings, Just a quick word of praise for SuperMac's Colorcard/24. I've had mine since December, when I bought it instead of the RasterOps. I've not regretted that decision at all. Among the nifty features this card has: It supports a large virtual desktop (on the order of 1024x760), with really fast hardware scroll. It supports 2x zoom, with scrolling. The accelerator clips straight to the card, so you don't have to deal with NuBus at all for transfers from the accelerator to the card. The only thing it doesn't do is the nifty startup screen the RasterOps board does, but I'll cope. :-) (P.S. Supermac, if you're listening, how about putting the nifty picture on the cover of your manual into a startup screen, eh?) --Mike
