Possible (long term) solution for ST/TT ISA GFX card?

[Badwolf]

@Badwolf Putting this in a ST536 based machine would be very interesting I think.

I may have a go at a version two.

I'll do another post and solicit ideas.

Please do.

Not that Im aware of.

Looking at *all* possibilities though, perhaps the IDE HDD interface can be harnessed for other uses?

IIRC years ago I used to have some sort of CF device (for an old iPaq HP device or similar electronic organiser) which could output VGA from the CF card slot.

I cant in the life of me remember the details though, other than it copied the screen display with any display movement and output to a projector. (I will see if I can find a picture of the device somewhere in my old photo storage).

But if that is possible, then perhaps (after some TF IDE bandwidth calculations) it may be worth exploring.

I cant imagine IDE speeds being able to haul too much screen estate though.

My goal is a plug&play solution with a OSS driver. I'm not interested in emulation of any ancient hardware or patching NVDI, etc..
