Summary: true color Keywords: true color Message-ID: Date: 2 Jun 91 15:16:15 GMT Distribution: comp Organization: Puplic-Access-Xenix Lines: 21 Hi graphics wizards, Could somebody tell me ,if it is possible to change just the DAC on a ET 4000 VGA-Board to the new Sierra Hi-Color (15 bit) DAC to get the 32768 colors ? Or is there also a BIOS update and another quarz oszillator necessary ?? I have already downloaded some demo programs to show TARGA (*.TGA)-pics from COMPUSERVE , but I wanted this to know first before I simply buy the new Sierra DAC ! Any advice is welcome .
