-
- I am looking at the December, 1993 issue of MacPower, a Japanese magazine
- on Macs. I don't have a Classic II.
-
- I see an ad for an internal 8bit colour video card for Macintosh ClassicII.
- From the picture, it piggybacks the motherboard. The company claims to be
- the first in the world to come out with such a board.
-
- Anyway, here are the details I can pick up from the ad.
-
- Manufacturer: Interware (they normally have 4 pages of colour ads on most
- local magazines and specialises in video cards
- and scanners for Macs. Well known in Japan)
-
- Products: Vimage 8 Classic II /wo co processor 99,800 yen
- Vimage 8 Classic II /w co processor 120,000 yen
- (Mac hardware/software prices are astronomical here)
-
- Supports: Apple 13" RGB monitor
- Apple 12" RGB monitor
- VGA monitors
-
- Features: No need to throw away your simms (whatever that means)
- A lot faster than SCSI solution (no figures)
- Takes the video signals from FD port. FD port cannot
- be used when the board is fitted. (Not sure what "FD"
- port is. Can't be floppy disk port. Can it?)
-
- Please note that I am just quoting from the ad and can't tell you how
- good (or bad) the video card is. For further details, try...
-
- Interware
- Tel. +81 - 5275 - 7378 (customer services 10:00 - 17:00 JST(GMT+9))
- Fax. Can't see the number on the ad
- Address 7th floor, Kudan New Central,
- 1 - 4 - 5, Kudan Kita,
- Chiyoda-Ku,
- 102 Tokyo
- JAPAN
-
- Hope this helps...
