It might also seem high to someone like ME who purchased the Hercules
Graphics Station card for my 386 PC. This card also has a 34010, 1M RAM
(the A2410 has 2), has 1024x768x8 bit, 800x600x8 bit (which I'm using
'till I get my new 17" monitor), 640x480x16 bit (32K colors) and
512x480x24 bit (16M colors) modes, and an onboard VGA adapter, for $650.
True this is a discounted price, but list for the card is $1024.
