- It appears my Diamond Speedstor VGA board is getting weak. Often it starts
- up gray, rather than blue, and gets corrected by repeated power-cycles. If
- I have to replace it, it is 21 months old, what is a good board that will
- fit into my PC editing environment, 2 AG1960's, Future Video to allow me
- to do character generation and mix computer pictures with the video. Price
- is a consideration, it must be inexpensive if I am to do it al all.
