I too would be interested in any information or impressions of the Logix VGA card or even the "Ahead" VGA card. These bargain-priced cards (Both are under $250, 512k, 16 bit cards) are not commonly owned cards and I'd appreciate any information before considering these as purchase options.

I have an Excelogic High Resoltion VGA/16 Adapter. Has anyone had experiences with this adapter? It was a cheap ($250 range) adapter that I got with my clone. My Excelogic failed some of the PC Tech Journal (Or was that PC Magazine )'s tests. The VGA256.BGI driver from Borland has pallet problems with my card and Quattro-Pro had some cursor problems (No mouse could have caused it). Strange enough though, I got a VGA256.BGI driver that was not a borland but TSENG and it didn't have problems with the pallet. Anyway, from what I can tell, it appears to be a TSENG related card, though I am not sure. Has any one gotten one of these cards? Have you upgraded it from 256 to 512k? What was envolved?

I own a Platinium VGA board and someone here at work owns a Logix VGA board. The best I can see, these are the same boards with different names. The boards use a Trident VGA chip. The boards come with the necessary drivers to run high-res screens under windows, ACAD, gem etc.. Get the board with the 512K of memory. I own a Multisync 3D, and the 1024x768 resolution with 16 colors in windows386(excel...), ACAD etc., puts a lot of information on the screen. My only obsevation is that 1024x768 is too high a resolution for a 14 inch monitor (a 19 inch monitor would make the text size bigger and easer to read and would resolve more detail). The software includes a TSR that maps the VGA BIOS into ram, so the display refresh rate is incredible. I read a review of the Logix VGA board in a magazine (VGA magazine I think) and was one of the best and fastest boards on the market. I'm very pleased with the board. -- -- Rich Commins (415)939-2400 \ /\ Varian Instruments, 2700 Mitchell Drive, Walnut Creek, CA 94598 \/--\ {ptsfa,lll-crg,zehntel,dual,amd,fortune,ista,rtech,csi,normac}varian!richc
