Apple High Resolution Display Video Card

Apple High Resolution Display Video Card is a basic, unaccelerated NuBus video card released in the late 80s.

The card is capable of displaying 640x480 video in 16 colours (4-bit) using 256 KB of video RAM and can be expanded to 256 colours (8-bit) with an optional VRAM upgrade which brings the total to 512 KB.

My card has the upgrade pre-installed and the chips are soldered to the board.
