Matrox SX-900 C80286-4 Video Card VERY NICE FOR WALL DISPLAY OR COLLECTION
This is the SX-900 Graphics card byMatrox. At the time one of the better graphics cards available for MULTIBUS. (the best being theMatroxGXB-1000)
The SX-900 can handle 640x480 and supports 4k colors LUT (in the EPROMS) (256 simultaneously). It includes 640x480x8 of RAM. It could fill 20 millions pixels/sec. That is incredibly fast in 1984. Consider the first Nvidia GPU, the STG-2000, released in 1995 was capable of 12 M/sec, yes SLOWER then the 80286 poweredMatrox
It does this with an Intel C80286-4processor (always wondered what those were used in). Its one of the earlier design wins for the 286 actually. The 80286 is supported by a white ceramic upd7220 graphics processor.
