This card is another unsuccessful idea of Big Blue to show, that 
they still exist. As far as I know it is a SVGA (640x400x256, whouw !, 
800x600x16 and 1024x768x16) and 320x200x2^24 (2nd whouw). 
To work with a card like this must be a torture...

You need a PC with the famous three letters, because it is an MCA card.
 
Price ? Again, remember the three letters.
