[rescue] SB180FX GT180 BYTE Designer's Computer, Notes

[Ken Hansen]

>From the SB180 survival web site:

GT180 for the SB180FX
The GT180 was a graphics terminal board made just for the SB180, and like
the COMM180 was to the SB180, the GT180 was a stackable board meant to
interface to the SB180FX's expansion header. It used fairly hefty (for the
time) Hitachi graphics chips to drive the PGA-like resolutions it could
produce. As already mentioned, the GT180 graphics board was first introduced
in the November 1986, December 1986 and January 1987 issues of Byte
magazine.
The maximum screen resolution of the GT180 was 640- by 480-pixels at 16
colors. The board's oscillator, however, could be interchanged with others
at different frequencies to produce what approached PGA-like resolutions and
color depths.
