- Here are the specs directly from Klaus Burket, the person who OWNS this
- project. He did not state what Amiga models it is available for. The product
- is based on the TSENG 4000 chipset (made immensely famous by IBM-compatible
- S-VGA cards) and supports the following resolutions and colors at the following
- refresh rates:
-
- Resolution 16/256K colors 256/256K colors 32768 colors
- 640x480 72 (60) Hz 72 (60) Hz 72 (60) Hz
- 800x600 72 (60) Hz 72 (60) Hz 60 (60) Hz
- 1024x768 72 (87i) Hz 72 (81i) Hz
- 1152x900 59 Hz
- 1280x1024 87i Hz
-
- The values are for a monitor that can take horizontal frequencies up to 57kHz
- (like the Nec 4D) the values in () for 38kHz (like the Nec 3D), 'i' is for
- interlace. In addition the author is thinking about supporting Nec 3FG-alikes
- (48kHz), that'll give 800x600 in 72 Hz and 1024x768 in 60 Hz.
-
- HiColor in already incorporated into the setup.
-
- The important graphics.library calls are patched to work on the board and
- they've built the board to appear mostly like the native chipset in terms of
- bitplanes, only bigger... (at least it's not copying graphics info from chip
- ram.)
-
- Finally cost is 698 DM in Germany which translates to about $450 US...
-
- Hope this helps, please send any questions to burket1@kirk.fmi.uni-passau.de
