Summary: IBM HURSLEY DEVELOPED 8514 DISPLAY
Xref: mnetor comp.sys.amiga:4759 comp.graphics:633

It is IBM Hursley (in Britain) who developed the high-end 8514
(1028x768x8) display and adapter.  Hursley does a lot of IBM's
graphics development work.  I think that the 8514 is completely IBM,
i.e. no Intel 82786.  The 8514 has hardware support for BITBLT. line
drawing, area fill, patterns, color mixing, and scissoring.  Also has
soft fonts.                   -- Steve Hardy, SHARDY@TEKNOWLEDGE.ARPA
