Can anyone tell me if there are any third party video cards that work with
an Alphastation 255/233? I saw some references to ATI and S3 cards in the
latest jumbo kernel patch. DEC told me that this might be for other
hardware platforms, but they weren't sure. Someone was going to get right
back to me about a week ago...
I presume that someone might at least know what chipset the Powerstorm
cards use so I can look for cards with similar chipsets. I am tired of
8bit color maps and the annoying colors involved in using private
colormaps.
24 bit color cards for PCs are ~$200. DEC wants way too much for their
cards for someone who doesn't want CAD capable, 3D, stereo viewing, etc.
Any help to get my Alphastation 255 to 24 bit color without spending a
fortune is appreciated.
