[comp.sys.apple2] fair price for a video card

ericmcg@pnet91.cts.com (Eric Mcgillicuddy) (02/09/91)

$500 for 640x480x8, but only if Quickdraw compatible and "regular" resolution
compatible also.

$1.95 otherwise.

This just to anyone in general... and it's about the graphics card for the GS
discussion...

What I'd like is some of the really neat stuff they have now... the improved
RAM DAC chips... there is also the new replacement chips for VGAs, they might
be the same thing, but they let regular VGAs display 700,000 or so colors on
screen and has some incredible anti-alias algorythm that lets the video seem to
have MUCH higher resolution removing jaggy edges and such... it would be so
awesome to have a VGA type card that could do that... the chip replacement goes
for about $30 dea;ers or something... in a year they'll be a buck a pop...

Just bouncing some ideas... I'm taking electronics in college... I'd love to
build one of these things for the GS... IF I caould... SIGH...
