There are two separate things, the Truevision TARGA

340x0 processor,
were made by many different vendors, and were
frequently 8514/A
compatible. The two have virtually nothing in common

Hey wonderful. That's exactly what I wanted to know
(???).
Other helpful information:
So appreciated :)
The Electronic Photography and Imaging Center was
spun off of AT&T in
1987 and became Truevision; the original TARGA
hardware were
apparently AT&T branded.
.TGA supports up to 32-bpp data (24 bits of color, 8
bits of alpha).
Apropos of nothing in particular, I love how people
on this list
spout off half-cocked about stuff they think they
might vaguely
remember a little bit, maybe, and rarely bother to
do even a tiny bit
of fact checking first.
Maybe there's other lists where you're likely to find
your sensibilities less offended. But then again
you'll probably run into lots of unchecked posts like
this one. There's so much to check these days. It just
makes sense to just ask sometimes ;). It seems at
least you're in grudging agreement - you did take time
to answer. And thanks again.
