John: When you get your PAR installed and discover the "View" button
in the PAR dos software you may find your quest unnecessary. If you
do need a frame buffer, better look for something that improves on
752X480 res. You'll view the targas right from the Dos drive with
the CAV or composite output from the PAR board at the PAR resolution.
You can view old targa+ res too but it doesn't fill the screen and
the aspect ratio is off. (makes the pictures tall) Of course if you
need to view animation then that has to come from the PAR drive after
the compression. Currently I'm trying hard to justify keeping the
targa+. The PAR seems to be replacing more and more of the features I
use in the targa+. So far the only thing left is non-artifact laden
frame grabbing at lower resolution. When faster hard drives get
developed even that may be a looser to the PAR.
