What a Video Card look like back in 1978
Posted on March 12th, 2008 by Nvidia GeForce Guru
Looking at this picture, you would assume that someone got their yo-yo tangled up on a piece of cardboard, but it’s actually a video card that functioned from 1978. Yup, there were video cards back in the days and your GeForce 8800 Ultra got nothing on this bad boy. This spaghetti tray video card is able to display 16 lines of text with a maximum of 64 ASCII characters on the tube! That’s high tech stuff right there. The home-made video card was used in a home-made computer, back in the days when wooden boards were used as the casing for internal CPU components. Okay, so you can’t play Crysis with it, but you can bang out some pretty neat codes and be able to see it on the screen.
