Visual Technology Inc is following up its new $1,000 X-terminal offering with a line of unbundled colour stations, persuing a strategy similar to the one charted recently by rival Human Design Systems. The new products are compatible with most AT-style keyboards and mice and use the 34020 chip from Texas Instruments. The entry-level Xbase/10 uses a 16MHz 68020 and 32MHz 34020, handling resolutions of 1,024 by 768. The Xbase/11 supports a megapixel display, typically 1,152 by 900 resolution. The Xbase/12 can display resolutions of 1,280 by 1,024. Both the 11 and 12 use a 20MHz 68020 and 40MHz 34020. All three have 2Mb standard memory, expandable to 14Mb. They are compliant with SECwindows, Motif, Open Look and XView. Availability is November. The Xbases alone range from $2,500 to $3,500: fully loaded they go from $3,500 to $6,055. pl 72
