[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] Paradise VGA 1024

ambush@kk4fs.UUCP (Ambush Bug) (11/02/90)

Hey, I've got a Paradise VGA 1024-512K SVGA card, and I want an answer.
Actually, I got one, and I don't like it (doesn't mean it's wrong, though.)

I want to know if this thing can do 800x600 256 colors.
It's got the memory (512K) but the mode isn't listed in the documentation.
The answer I got was, no, it can't do it, because Western Digital hate the 
mode for no good reason.

Does anyone know if the situation is different, or if Paradise/WD plans to 
add this mode in the future, or am I going to have to get another card?

I'm very pleased with the card (other than the fact it doesn't do that 
mode.) The display is better than real IBM PS/2 55SX's.

Thanks!
