No sorry but you are mistaken. Revolution 512x8 was introduced in the early 80's using an NEC 7220 graphics processor, competing with Control Systems, Nth Engine, Imagraph, PixelWorks and a few select others. Cirrus was founded in 1984 and Trident 1987. Number Nine had already designed a board which did 512x512 @16.7 million colors when these guy's were just babies.
WOW!! Revolution 512x32 w/Genlock Module for capture. I still have one in working order. Those were the GO-Go day's. We couldn't make enough of them. There is one in the Smithsonion Institute showing weather patterns. The product even saw action during Desert Storm. The best part of the Cambridge office were the sub's at Ma Magoo's. Rick
12+ years and 40+ products later I say gooddby to this graphics industry pioneer. To all those Niner's I worked with it's time to let the old lady rest in peace with the dignity it deserves. Rico
