Vance, Is IMPULSE still selling the VD-1? They announced in their Spring
newsletter that they were coming out with a new display only adaptor that
upped the resolution/colors anty, for under $1000. The VD-1 was primarily
designed as a frame grabber, with buffer capabilities added afterwards.
The new board is strictly frame buffer. It will supposedly also have NTSC,
RBG, and SVHS output from it. Sounds too good to be true… time will
tell.
Re the Targa, however, there is a lot of PC software that supports the
Targa, and Amiga stuff too. While there is not much for the VD-1, etc…
If only CMD would release a new video standard, so that hardware and
software people could support one another…–jp–
