I have been considering developing a VGA resolution display card for the Apple.
But now I need to know what the requirements would be for QuickDraw compatability?
What are the requirements for QuickDraw?

I have not determined the exact resolution, but what would be needed and at what
price.  VRAMs would make the design easy and small, but raise the cost alot!  So
what would YOU pay for a 768x640x8 video card, or a 1024x768x8 or how about x16 or
x24 bit color?  What would frame capture capability add to its function?
