- Well, I use to own the Micronics MVC4000LB video adapter for VL-BUS
- system boards. It can do 1280x1024x16 colours. I'm not sure if this
- is non-interlaced or interlaced. I think it would be best to assume
- it is interlaced. The card is fast for regular VGA and text.
- Landmark 2.0's video speed gave me over 16,000 characters per
- millisecond. Of course since when has text speed been a problem. The
- Micronics MVC8000LB video adapter (ATI Mach 32) only gives me a little
- bit over 6000 characters per second on the same machine.

- Picture quality is important though. Simply put the Tseng looks
- really fuzzy compared to the ATI for regular text as well as graphics.
- I have a crappy 60hz Aamazing NI monitor and the picture with the ATI
- looks better on this than a more expensive and better quality
- Viewsonic 5E with a Tseng.
