Apple Display Card 8•24

The Apple Display Card 8•24 is an unaccelerated NuBus video card made by Apple in the early 90s. It's unaccelerated and supports 512 x 384 to 1024 x 768 in 16.7 million colours (24-bit) and 1152 x 870 in 256 colours (8-bit).

Like many of the unaccelerated cards released by Apple at the time, the card supports NuBus slave block transfers, which boost the speed of the card if an Apple Display Card 8•24GC is installed in the system.

Apple began using lighter green colour circuit boards when these cards were released. The card is arranged about the same as the previous Apple video cards. Unfortunately the card has a 20 MHz clock crystal that you can see at the top right, which sticks out and can be easily broken.

Here you can see the 8 video RAM chips and the solder points for two 68-pin VRAM SIMM slots, which are not used on this model as the memory is non-expandable.
