Greg, From what I know, all the boards like the Picasso II are based on VGA
chips, I believe. (Picasso II, the GVP Spectrum,etc) The only one that isn't
is the Retina. So far, from what I have been able to find out, the Retina
offers the biggest screen rez with the most color(24bit). All of the cards
come with (very close to) real time paint packages. I don't know if they are
accelerated or not, but most have fast displays.
To answer your specific monitor question… well, I don't know. I have been
told that most come with a bag full of pre written code to make specific
monitors work with out any problem.
I know they should all work with IDEK 19" and 21" monitors, but my question is,
are those monitors any good?
I guess we could start sending messages to the DKB folks for an 040 based 3000
X 3000 line 24 bit super realtime card for under a thousand dollars! That
would work for me just fine!
