STB INTRODUCES ULTRA HIGH-END 24 BIT GRAPHICS ACCELERATOR 

Pegasus VL24+ to offer 16.7 million colors at 1024x768, 76 Hz refresh rate

May 4, 1993 -- Richardson, Texas - STB Systems, Inc. has announced the
release of the Pegasus VL24+ graphics accelerator card. The Pegasus VL24+
is a VESA Local Bus compatible graphics accelerator that is capable of
displaying 16.7 million colors at resolutions of 640x480, 800x600 and
1024x768.

Based on the S3 86C928 video controller, the product will come in two
standard configurations. The base configuration will be configured with 4
MG of VRAM and will support resolutions up to 1024x768 at 16.7 million
colors and up to 65 thousand colors at 1280x1024. The product will also be
offered in a 2 MG configuration providing 65 thousand colors at 640x480
through 1024x768 resolutions and a maximum of 256 colors at 1280x1024
resolution. Refresh rates supported are 60, 72 and 76 Hz

To simplify installation and provide easy access to configuration menus,
the Pegasus VL24+ comes with a Winstall utility that makes it possible to
change monitor resolution and color settings from a windows menu accessed
by double clicking on an icon.

The product will come standard with a BNC-style RGB connector and VGA
15-pin D-sub connector. The RGB connector transmits high integrity video
signals and offers compatibility with high-end desktop publishing
monitors. Both connectors will support variable and fixed frequency
monitors.

The product will include drivers to support applications for Microsoft
Windows 3.x and Windows NT, IBM's OS/2, SCO Open Desktop, Uniware,
X-Windows, as well as major CAD/CAM platforms.

The Pegasus VL24+ is scheduled to begin full production runs at the end of
May and will begin shipping during the middle of June.

The powerful features and capabilities of the Pegasus VL24+ position this
board against high-end boards based on the TI 34020 co-processor, which
cost well over $2,000. The suggested retail price for the Pegasus VL24+
(VESA Local Bus) version is $799 for the 2MB version and $999 for the 4 MB
version.

The Pegasus VL24+ offers users a higher level of performance than standard
1 and 2 MG DRAM graphics accelerators. "The Pegasus VL24+ provides the
right combination of performance, color depth and open systems
compatibility for users who expect more than hyped up Winmark scores from
tests performed in 256 color modes", said Gary Kellar, Product Manager.
Kellar defines the Pegasus VL24+, "...as a board designed for power users
who need maximum performance while working with 24-bit images at high
resolutions".
