Yes, I am all for seeing more PC hardware being done for the Atari range, but I doubt its as simple as all that! - dont forget, that the Milan etc, have been completely designed to allow for PCI, while the ST etc have not! - the whole idea may well be impossible - apart from that, just getting a PCI slot into an Atari would be a massive project in itself! -
However, its definetely possible with some lower end ISA cards, and its been done with some ( TSENG ET3000 & 4000 to name the ones I know of ) so why not make something out of one of those? - the display will be infinetely better than the standard Atari's can do ( Not Falcon though ) and I know we will all just love to have, even 640x480x256 if nothing else! - 800x600 will be better, and in 16 or more bitsm I for one, will be wetting myself at the thought of it
As long as its a fair price though...Which I think will have to be low!
Maybe whoever does get something done, then if they sell it for a ridiculously low price, then I just wonder...How many people will actually buy it?
Even if you're stuck to one Res, as long as its an improvement eh?
Actualy, mario has done / Is doing a graphics card, and from what I know, its fairly well spec'd too! - I'll have to get an update...
