Subject: Surplus S100 Graphics Boards for sale
DigiGraphics has some surplus Scion graphics equipment for sale from a
defunct product. There are between 20 and 40 bit plane boards, and
one fourth as many palette boards. Our product would have used one
palette board and four bit plane boards. The palette board also
includes Scion's Screenware firmware.
This product is currently supported and sold by Scion. Packaged
as we use them (4+1), they go for around $5k qty 1. For each package,
we would certainly accept any offer in the $3k range and probably a good
deal lower than that. If you are at all interested, contact us. We
would also consider selling the boards unbundled, so if you want just
another bit plane (model MA520) or two to go with your existing Scion
unit, let us know. The resolution of the system is 512x480, with
a LARGE number of colors and a good-sized palette (I wasn't on the
project, and I haven't got the figures in hand).
We are not distributing this product, and when the boards we have are
gone, we will not be getting any more. The company has already expensed
these out, so if you are a wheeler-dealer, you may make a really good
deal for yourself, but don't tell them I told you so. Best of luck.
