Wow, I have had every one of those names go through my hands in the
early 1990s.
Didn't AED use a STD Bus? I seem to remember a STD bus RGB card.
I had an AED-767 for a while; that one in particular wasn't STD
bus. It was a very large board in a 2U rackmount box. It interfaced
to the host system via a serial port and some sort of a parallel
interface to the host; I don't remember much about that part. I had
it about twenty years ago.
I dearly miss that box and would love to have another one, should
anyone have one in their basement.
