Workgroup Server 9150: Video Support

This article describes the video capability of the Workgroup Server 9150 (WS 9150).
The WS 9150 uses DRAM for video buffering when connecting to the built-in DB-15 socket on the back of the computer. This DB-15 socket supports these monitors:

Monitor            Size (pixels)    Color depth (bits)
-------            -------------    ------------------
12-inch RGB         512 by 384            16
14-inch RGB         640 by 480            16
15-inch portrait    640 by 870             8
16-inch RGB         832 by 624             8
VGA                 640 by 480             8

Bandwidth limitations prevent the WS 9150 from supporting 16 bit pixel depths on the larger monitors.

For larger monitors on the WS 9150 use either a NuBus, or PDS video card. The amounts of VRAM on the card will support larger monitors at greater color depth.
