Physical Specs and Compatibility

The E-Machines Ultura LX 12" is a 12" NuBus card compatible with 680x0-based NuBus Macs running up to System 7.5. It is not compatible with PowerPC-based Macs; see Other Notes section below.

Acceleration/Resolution/Color Support

The card provides standard QuickDraw acceleration. Roberto Muscedere reports:

I was just testing one of these and I noticed you would have liked to have some information about it.

Here is what I have for resolutions and refresh rates:

1152 x 870 @ 75Hz
1024 x 768 @ 75, 60Hz
832 x 624 @ 75Hz
640 x 870 @ 75Hz
640 x 480 @ 67Hz
1152 x 910 @ 72Hz
1152 x 882 @ 71Hz

I assume this card has 3 megabytes of memory since it was able to go to 1152 x 910 with 24 bits. A quick check of the memory chips (24 MT42C4256 - 256k*4 VRAM), it works out to 3 megabytes.

I've tested this on a Macintosh IIfx with 7.6.1 and it seems to work. The ROM version I have is 2.0.0a

Other Notes

ROM version 3.0 is required for Power Macintosh compatibility. The ROM upgrade is not available for the 12" version of this card and therefore will not work with PowerPC-based Macs.
