Vintage Apple MacIntosh Accelerated Graphics Display Card 8.24.GCwith AMD29000-30GC Processor
The 8•24GC was Apple’s response to the third party high end prepress raster image processing cards (RIP) that were selling for thousands of dollars. It uses the same AMD 29000 RISC processor, and it is FAST. It is designed for a 68030 machine, I suspect the IIfx primarily, but it will accelerate any 68030 with a full length NuBus slot.This can be used in any NuBus Ma...cintosh that supports full-sized NuBus cards (including NuBus Power Macs). It will provide 24-bit color on any such Mac, and will work in accelerated mode on any 68030 Macintosh. It supports 1152 x 870 Color displays in 256 colors and has 2 MB of DRAM (expandable to 10 MB). This card is not compatible with Virtual Memory or RAM Doubler in accelerated mode, but it will work fine with them in unaccelerated mode.
This is a rare find. Please note this board has not been tested and is being sold "as-is".
Computer items are vintage. Minimal testing has been done. They are not offered as perfect, as they are up to 35 years old. Early microcomputers were known to have faults and require technical knowledge to repair or operate properly. These items are sold to collectors and technical experts in AS-IS condition. Please do not buy this item if you do not accept these condition details. You are free to ask questions.
