Formal ProNitro 80.19 specs?
Posted by: Tx76 on 2023-07-20 12:41:12
Hello there!

I could probably get a Formac ProNitro 80.19 Nubus video card and I‘m looking for its specs.
I would especially like to know if it can drive an Apple 12“ RGB Display.
I googled thoroughly but didn’t find anything…
Does anybody know this card?
Thanks!

Generally this era of Formac card came with a monitor and did a single resolution, that will be the wrong resolution for a 12" display.

@Bolle - let me know if I'm mistaken on this one?

OK, thanks a lot!
Do you happen to know which resolution that is?
Would the monitor have the same name? I will look it up.

1024x768 I think.

The monitor should be called a Pronitron 80/19. I'd say the same thing, but I think the card might technically have another name.

You don't need specifically that monitor. Some other monitors will sink to it. Even LCDs with the right adapter (not every LCD works).

I only have the 12” RGB… for now…
