As far as I know, the only officially announced color video cards are
by SuperMac and RasterOps.  The SuperMac Spectrum 8/II supports the
AppleColor monitor and large screens up to 1024x768, 256 colors and
lists for ~$1900.  I believe the RasterOps has the same basic specs,
but I don't know the price.  I'm hoping someone will offer a lower
priced board that only supports the AppleColor monitor.  Anyone heard
any news?
