MACPICASSO 320

MacPicasso 320


The MacPicasso 320 is a 64 bit NuBus accelerated graphic board, able to work with any Apple Macintosh and PowerMacintosh with a free NuBus slot.

Virtually any monitor on the market can be used with the MacPicasso 320, both Apple and PC VGA types, without the need of special adapters or configurations: The board is completely "plug-and-view" and it is able to automatically recognise the type and kind of monitor connected and use it at its best.

The MacPicasso 320 provides very fast screen handling (thanks to the QuickDraw hardware acceleration), many screen resolutions (up to 1600x1200), very sharp and clear images (thanks to the high vertical refresh rates), colour modes up to million of colours (32 bit), hardware virtual screen handling and more.

It is the perfect solution to upgrade the video output performances of the "old" Macs, keeping them productive. It is the perfect solution to drive a second monitor for the "multi-monitor approach to the problem".
