Sounds interesting. Is the Pegasis a VLB card? I 'll call them
and get more info, but it'll be a little while before I get serious
about another video card. Too many things on the list! I've got a
Hercules chrome right now which does 1024 at 24 bit, and is fast for
an ISA card, (actually, I was perfectly happy with it until I got a
local bus machine and now I won't be happy until I have a local bus
card! Funny how that works).
If the STB card requires vga pass-through, it means that there
is no vga chip on the card, and you need a seperate vga card that
passes its signal through the STB. The STB would only kick in when
its drivers are engaged, and everything else (DOS command line, vga,
super vga, and vesa programs) would only use the vga board. This is a
good thing because you can buy a cheap one that has good dos speed,
without worrying about its Windows performance, etc. provided it has
a feature connector.
