* GRIBNIF SOFTWARE UPDATE Press Release
=======================================================================
January 15, 1992
Crazy Dots Video Display Adapter
Gribnif Software has announced the imminent North American release of
their new "Crazy Dots" video display adapter for the Atari Mega ST, Mega
STE, and TT/030 personal computers.
The Crazy Dots video display adapter allows the Atari computer to drive
a variety of VGA, Multi-Sync, and other high end color and gray scale
displays. The adapter supports resolutions up to 1,664 x 1,200 pixels,
and can display up to 256 different colors or gray levels at once.
Developed by TKR in Germany, the adapter is the fastest of its kind,
offering the ability to switch the display's physical resolution from
within any GEM program. Its numerous features include:
o Display up to 256 colors or grey levels from a palette of 16.7 million
in any resolution from 320 x 200 up to 1,280 x 800 pixels.
o Extended resolution support up to 1,664 x 1,200 pixels in monochrome,
four, eight, and sixteen color modes.
o Software uses an exclusive "line-a-emulator", for maximum software
compatibility (depending on the selected display mode).
o Mouse controlled hardware panning, which allows for the display of any
virtual resolution, regardless of the monitor's maximum physical
resolution.
o Connects to any Multi-Sync displays via a regular 15-pin VGA
connector.
o Uses Tseng Labs's powerful ET-4000 graphics controller.
o Includes one full megabyte of display memory, with full Blitter
access.
o Complete math co-processor support.
o Megabus model includes a bus "pass through" and socket for an optional
math co-processor.
o Includes a special "Video Application Slot" for future expansions
options, including: ECL adaptor, Genlock, and True Color display.
Crazy Dots is available in two models. The "Crazy Dots Megabus" model,
designed to fit into Atari's original Mega ST2 and Mega ST4 computers,
is available for $949. The "Crazy Dots VME" model, designed to fit into
Atari's Mega STE and TT/030 computers, is available for $999.
