Name them. Brands, abilities, price.

I'm serious.  In fact, I've been trying to configure for myself a
386-based PC with a 1024 X 768 X 256 non-interlaced co-processor
graphics card.  The lowest cost options I can name are:

	The NEC Multi-sync Graphics Engine, TI 34010, 1 Meg VRAM 384K
	program RAM, VGA mode: $1000 list. Best price I found in
	Computer Shopper: $700

	The Hercules Graphics Station. TI34010, 1 Meg VRAM, up to 2 Meg
	program RAM, VGA mode: $1000 list, best CS price $650.

	The Paradise 8514/A, IBM 8514/A clone (NOT a 34010). VGA
	pass-thru (means you also need a VGA card). Best CS price $600.

So help me out here.  You know of a TI34010 card for less then $200?  I
want one.
