Hi Kip,
Can you point me to the data sheet for V9958 chip?
I would like to take a look at it.
Thanks...

Alan

Has anyone ever adapted a V9958 Video Graphics Controller 64-pin chip with
tiny spacing on the pins to fit a solderless breadboard?  I was not aware of
this very small pin spacing when I was researching the chip.  I liked the
chip's capabilities and at $6.40 a chip, the price was too good to pass up!
This will take some doing.  I may have to compromise and use an earlier
chip.  Maybe the TMS9918 or TMS9928.  Were there any others in that chip
line.

Were there other chip manufacturers with interesting Video Graphics chips I
should consider?

Kip
