- It uses a standard AT VGA card which resides in one of the IBM slots
- (so you can't use a bridgeboard). The Domino card (hardwarewise similar
- to OmniBus) carries a standard VGA board on top. The Retina card incorporates
- standard VGA electronics on its own PCB.
-
- All these cards are Zorro-II and thus slower in operation than a standard Screen
- (640x512x4 colors) but faster than a DMA saturated Screen (640x512x16 colors).
