It has wide attribute and proportional spacing support, which does set it apart from the usual fixed-pitch crowd. Intel announced a similar product, the 82730, around 1984. Same deal--advanced text display. I recall that preliminary prices quoted made it hugely expensive. I don't know if it ever made it to production either. I don't know of a product that used either chip, but I'd concentrate on the word-processing world for my search. --Chuck
