Do such things exist? I'm after a "cheap" entry-level 24bit capable video
card to replace the 8bit video cards we have in our labs of AlphaStation
255's running DU4.0E.
The price I got from a DEC rep was over AU$1300 (ex.tax) each for a 4D20
card. This is 15 times more than what we pay for the video cards in our
PC's!
At the moment we have a mixture of #9 S3Trio64's and ATI-Mach64's (I think
they are 3D10 or 3D30's). The S3's are great, the ATI's have colourmap
problems and also intermittently hang the X console :-(
Am I stuck having to buy 'DEQ branded' video cards or are there
alternatives? I guess the problem is getting cards which are supported by
the X server. Why do I feel tempted to install Linux/Alpha over the top of
DU!!??
Thanks for any advice!
