[net.micro.pc] Paradise Autoswitch EGA

spence@utcsstat.UUCP (09/20/86)

I would appreciate hearing from anyone using the Paradise Autoswitch EGA: Both
positive and negative comments and any comparisons with other EGAs.  Please 
comment only if you have actually used the Paradise.  I would be especially
interested in hearing from those who have used it with the NEC Multisync.

My main complaint about the Paradise Autoswitch is that it doesn't give you
composite video output.

Also, you need to set some dip switches on the card to match
the kind of monitor you have. The dip switches are accessible from the
back of the machine so that is not as bad as it might be.

I hear that ZDS (Heath/Zenith computers) will be selling the Paradise
Autoswitch EGA to those that want to order an EGA card from Zenith.
Just like they sell the Paradise Hi Res card to those who buy the Zenith
hi res monitor and need a board to run it.
