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
