Nice! Do you know what display and machine you're planning on running this with?

Great find, I have not seen one for sale in a while.

Had the 1360 version in a iifx some years back, it made a huge difference compared to the Apple "Toby" card that came with it.

Its a shame that those dsps never got used much besides in early Photoshop versions.

Woohoo! I well remember how I felt when I finally got mine after many years of looking! Enjoy! [😀] ]'>

I'd love to get one of those.  I have the SuperMac equivalent.  I don't use it because I need 16 colors, and the SuperMac doesn't do 16. 🙁

You're looking for a 3MB VRAM Card to do SIXTEEN colors? [😛] ]'>

16bit, Supermac cards do 8bit and 24bit.

Ah! I thought it was some weird gaming gaming requirement.

For me it's a gaming requirement.  However, I only have 1 slot for a video card.  The Radius supports 4-bit color mode.  Right now I'm using my Red Radius which works great, but I wouldn't mind that sweet, sweet 1600x1200 resolution, though. 😉
