If the prices are unreasonable, buy elsewhere.
I have a friend who is a very small Amiga dealer. I'm sure he'd be
happy to sell you stuff at Commodore U.S. list prices, plus shipping.

re: .2
John, prices are not unreasonable in themselves; but competition
and choice motivate the question. (I saw a super VGA frame grabber
that supports IFF for the PS2/30 for $699 yesterday, and probably
the PC deluxe paint will handle it - we're talking about aprox.
parity for a LIST $1,999 IBM small packaging)
The world changed!

| 2386.4 | Bridgeboard? | SAUTER::SAUTER | John Sauter | Fri Mar 24 1989 12:41 | 3 |
The PS2/30 uses the same buss as a PC/AT, if I remember correctly.
I wonder if the VGA frame grabber would work on a BridgeBoard?

P.S. I remember that you have driver software in the kit. It runs
on clones as well.

| 2386.7 | Saw this Ad | MAMIE::LEIMBERGER | Fri Mar 31 1989 08:53 | 27 | |
I saw an add in the April issue of Personal Publishing.The board
is "Publisher's VGA" from Willow Peripherals.It is advertized as
a VGA board,and frame-grabber in one package.
640 x 480 16 colors
320 x 200 256 colors (256K)
1024 x 780 16 colors or 800 x 600 256 colors (512K)
Supports TIFF,PCX,IFF,EPS formats,and "Once saved,enhance the image
with software packages like Deluxe Paint II,and Publisher's
Paintbrush".The ad stated it was 100% register,and BIOS
compatible,supported preceding video standards.It will run on any
IBM PC,XT,AT,PS/2 model 25,30 or compatible.It also stated the capture
speed as 1/60th of a second.Price $699.00 .I don't have a bridge
board so I won't be racing out to buy one.I have Digiview,Grabbit,and
may pick up a Frame-grabber someday.It is encouraging to see a clone
product that supports IFF.As for price it looks attractive,but I
can buy a dedicated Frame-Grabber for less.The VGA is added in but
then,it should be.If you have VGA already you may save space in
the box but If I recall the adds in computer shopper correctly it
is an expensive option to have laying on the desk.

re: .7
I wonder if Max Toy had anything to do with having it support IFF?
He's been talking about the use of a bridgeboarded A2000 in business
applications.
If I had a bridgeboard and was looking for a VGA board to add to
it... and found one that also did framegrabbing in IFF format, do
you suppose that might sway me to buying it instead of a mere VGA
board?
