Has anyone done any analysis of the individual ICs as yet? I haven't had a chance to check out the new pics on a big monitor.
I had a NewLife Accelerator for the Compacts (in a 512k with a cheap 128k MoBo substitute cuz I was too chicken to solder a standard socket to my un-Killy Clippable Proc) that was supposed to do video out to a TTL Monitor. I don't think they released software that enabled it to function before they went belly-up, the stuff that came with the card didn't work.
I can't see anyone doing CGA out of a Mac, there's better resolution on the 9" CRT inside the box and no real color capability on the MoBo. Hercules Graphics level output to a TTL Monitor would make a LOT more sense to me for a card like this. More pixels on a larger TTL Monitor was the reason I bought that NewLife Card back in the day!
As for the prototype WAG, I'll grant you it must have been a VERY short production run, because that board has just aweful "production value" the way it stands. It looks like it'd be a freakin' radio frequency noise transmission unit/antenna plugged inside of your Mac!
