First of all, since someone asked heres the poop:
MSRP's for our current line of 24 bit card:
16-bit DirectColor Card $3,695
24-bit DirectColor Card $4,995
Upgrade 16->24 $1,495
19" 1152x882 Sony Trinitron Monitor (Two FULL Pages) 4,295
Related products:
QuickColor Graphics Accelerator $795 ( make 24 bit as fast as 8 bit)
PrecisionColor Calibrator $695 ( What good does 16 million colors do you
if they're the wrong ones)
>>The Quickcolour from Supermac consumes a whopping 2 AMPS from the slot
>>in the IIcx. Not the sort of thing I'd want in my machine. I read
Radius not Supermac makes the QuickColor board. The board consumes LESS than
2 amps, and the power budget for EACH SLOT in a Mac II is 2 amps regardless.
On the other hand, the DirectColor card consumes almost 4 amps, but there's not
much we can do about that, 1152x882x24bits of Video Memory and 3 8bit RamDACS with
a refresh rate of 72 Hz (no flicker) consume that much power.
