I saw an ad in Europe for a TIGA standard graphics adapter (about DM 4000.- or
$2500).  It offered 24-bit color (i.e. 8-bit R,G, and B) and resolution of
1200-something x 1024 and was compatible with any multisynch anolog monitor
capable of that resolution (NEC 5D ...).  Unfortunately, I have no idea
what the address is for finding out more about this.  If it's any help,
TIGA stands for Texas Instruments Graphics Adapter.  It was designed for
an AT Bus.
