Radius PrecisionColor Pro 24X

The Radius PrecisionColor Pro 24X is a 7" NuBus card compatible with both 680x0- and PowerPC-based Macs running up to Mac OS 9.1 (at least with ROM 2.0).

Details

It provides standard QuickDraw acceleration and supports standard Mac resolutions from 512 x 384 to 1152 x 870, as well as 800 x 600 and 1152 x 882, all in 24-bit color.

Notes

• It is the same card (or very nearly the same card) as the Apple Display Card 24AC, which is generally very hard to find and, in my opinion, overpriced relative to its Radius sibling. eBay occasionally has these and they usually sell for under US$50.
• QuickColor 3.3 (part of RadiusWare 3.3) works fine under any Mac OS up to and including Mac OS 9.1.
• Dynamic Desktop crashes the Mac OS at startup when installed on Mac OS 8.6 or higher. SwitchRes (shareware) works to change resolutions instead.
