  • ALR video card

    I was never able to get one of these to play in
    an Ibm computer. They worked fine in AlR systems.

    any Ideas...

    Not really sure, looks to have 256K on-board, four 18 pin DIP sockets.
    Maybe rams this card into True Color with 512KB of screamin' DRAM?

    ALR bought up by Gateway. Damnable FTP site... Might as well hang one on
    at the local bar.

    Display Modes And Resolution
    82C452 supports a superset of all VGA modes. The
    maximum display bandwidth is 200 MBits/s - 25
    MHz at 9 bits/pixel or 50 MHz at 4 bits/pixel. This
    translates to resolutions up to 640x480 in 256 colors
    (packed pixel mode), up to 960x720 in 16 colors
    (both planer and packed pixel mode) and up to
    1280x960 in 4 colors (both planer mode and packed
    pixel mode). Higher resolution modes such as
    1280x1024 four color modes can be supported with
    external hardware. This is shown in the figures on
    the following pages.
