Yes, I have heard of it. Unfortunately you would have much more luck buying a Commodore 65. This GFX enhancement is about as rare as the Holy Grail itself. I have never heard of a single unit ever being owned.

Was it probably like they would build one when it was ordered type deal maybe? I don't really see why anyone would have bought one in the first place.

You kidding me? If released today they would sell in the hundreds or thousands. AFAIK the company was tiny and didn't have funding to mass produce, IIRC they advertised but didn't sell many if any.

Again, discussion like this (about Commodore 8-bit stuff) should be moved to the "Alternative Operating Systems" forum.  This is the forum for Amiga software discussion.

Correct, it has been moved.

Look at the resolutions it provides. The VDC only gives 640x400 in interlace mode.

No it doesn't. The VDC can be setup to provide just about any resolution as you can freely set just about every timing aspect of it. Any VDC with 64kb RAM can do 720x700. Think of 640x400 as the pixel resolution and 720x700 as overscan if you like.

Thanks for clearing this up, I was unaware. Wouldn't anything beyond 480 vertical be outside the viewable range of NTSC?
