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.
The card is pretty basic which two banks of VRAM, ROM and a video processor. |
Here you see the GPU on the card. It seems to be a joint effort with Apple and Toshiba. |
Here are some of the 150ns VRAM chips. |
The two banks of VRAM chips. Each row of 8 chips totals 256 KB. The upper bank is the expansion memory which is pre-installed on this card. |
The ROM chip on the board. | |
