Western Digital expanded its Paradise graphics controller line to
include two 8514/A graphics cards -- an AT-compatible and an
MCA-compatible.
 
The new Paradise 8514/A Plus card works in AT-bus machines. With
512K of on-board RAM, it can generate 16 colors at 1024 by 768
resolution on interlaced or noninterlaced monitors. With an
additional 512K on a daughtercard, the Paradise board can
generate 256 colors at 1024 by 768.
 
The company also announced a version of the Paradise 8514/A for
the Micro Channel and the Paradise 8514/A Plus Combo, which
incorporates both 8514/A and VGA support. The Plus Combo will let
you access either VGA or 8514/A graphics through software and
even change from one to the other as though there were two cards,
the company said.
 
Price: MCA, $1099; 8514/A Plus Combo, $1299;
