You pay a mint for bleeding edge equipment (still do), and it gets old fast.
Rasterops made some nice cards in the early days of Nubus, they were also one of the first with add-on cards for acceleration so you didn't have to toss the old one out. I think Truevision which made very good video capture cards was purchased by Rasterops very early in its life and did well under them. My understanding is Rasterops charged $75 or something like that for drivers making it uneconomical to purchase (by then obsolete) Nubus cards. I think they sold off the inventory and files to a third party who tried to make a living with support, hence the $$$ fees. It took me a while to find OS 6 drivers for Rasterops cards, but they work well. I could be wrong but I think Rasterops cards (at least the video editing ones) were cheaper then anything Radius and Supermac sold around the same time.
