I tried out the Video Blaster card at a local computer store. The ms-dos machines was running windows and the input for the video blaster was comming form a cd player. The canned demo was quite impressive; though the salesman did tell me I could not get the resolution shown in the demo(?) The resolution supported by the card was 480x240(?), While the demo was running I captured an image and saved it to file. I tried two formats: bitmapped and gif. When I displayed the captured image, it was not very clear and there were black lines about 2mm wide running vertically through the entire image. In, short I was not impressed enought by this board to purchase it. If any one out there has had a different experience, please post it. Anyway I'm also looking for a video board, does anyone know whats available for the IBM pc/clones? --thanks ********--------********--------********--------********--------********* * Disclaimer : It wasn't me! * * * --Kim Naru knaru@Altos.COM | apple!altos!knaru * * * A C E R * ********--------********--------********--------********--------*********
