Has anyone seen the specs on the $1700 2 drive Model 30 PC2 graphics card?

This thing whips the Amy vid chip.  The VGA ("something" graphics adapter)
has 256 on screen colors from a palette of 22k.  All from an IBM that retails
for less then $2000.  What gives?  I don't understand.  I know it can't
be as good as it seems (after all its IBM :-)

One good note:  It's 8086 based running at 8 Mgtz.  Old technology, typical
		IBM.
