Can Retina BLT Z3 do 1024x768x24 or 1152x864x24 non-interlaced?
« on: September 03, 2006, 07:45:20 PM »
There is a Retina BLT Z3 on eBay.  I am looking for someone who has hands-on experience with this board.  It is based on the NCR 77C32BLT and I have found some specs on the chipset, but what I have found does not match up to what I am told the card can do, spec-wise.

I need a card which can do 24 bit color, non-interlaced, at 1024x768 or 1152x864, to replace my Spectrum 28/24.  (The higher resolution might actually be 1152x900, but I rarely use this mode and cannot recall if x900 is a Mac/Sun specific resolution.)

I guess I could just hold out until I find another Picasso IV, but those do not seem to pop up very often.

Edit: Changed wording so it is clear that the Spectrum does not do the modes I need.

Thanks.  Was that interlaced or non-interlaced?

There's no question about the resolution and color modes.  The question is about interlacing.

Thanks.  I'm just squeemish about putting up a clam or two just to discover that the card can't do what I want.  I'm thinking that a PCI expansion for the 4000D might be the way to go, anyway.
