- You should check out the Radius PrecisionColor 24Xp interface. It will give
- you 1, 4, 8, 16, and 24 bit depths on just about any 13" to 16" display. It
- works at 640x480, 800x600, and 832x624. The board is so (relatively) inex-
- pensive that it isn't worth it to offer it in an 8-bit or 16-bit configura-
- tion, since at 24-bits it retails for only $599.

- I believe it does, but only on 12" and 13" displays. It does not drive
- 16" displays at all.
