[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] New Everex Video Card

liggio@cunixf.cc.columbia.edu (Vincent J. Liggio) (02/19/91)

Has anyone out there heard about the new Everex Viewpoint TC card that is
out that supports 24-bit color, windows 3.0 driver for 16.7 million colors,
VGA modes up to 1280x1024 (16color), and is listed at $795 (40% less I
guess in the street)?

Along the same vein, I was wondering if anyone can forward me
recommendations of cards for 1024x768x256 (non-interlaced) VGA.  I would
like to use it on a Sony 1304 or Seiko 1450.  Some cards I'm looking at
include: Orchid Pro Designer II, Everex's Viewpoint VRAM, Everex's new
card, Video-7's VRAM II, etc...  Any preferences, dislikes, or suggestios
would be appreciated.  If there is sufficient response I will summarize and
post...  Please email direct.

I read about this card some time ago, I believe right after Comdex in 
Infoworld, but have not heard anything else about it either.  Has anyone seen
it for sale?  

Also, there is a card by NDI (i believe) based on a TI 34020 chip (TIGA),
that has a suggested list price of some ridiculously low price in the
neighborhood of $695.  Has aynyone heard anything thing about that one?
Again, I read about this quite some time ago, but have not seen it sold
anywhere.

Thanks in advance for any positive responses.
