[comp.sys.ibm.pc] EGA/Multifunction board wanted

mju@m-net.UUCP (Marc Unangst) (11/23/88)

Currently, I have a piece-of-crap Zenith Z-148 computer.  The built-in
CGA is fine for text, but for graphics I'd like something a little
better.  Here's the problem:  I only have two expansion slots.  One
of them is taken up by a hard disk controller.  The other is filled
with a joystick card.  I'm looking for an EGA card that will replace
one of the previous cards, as well as have EGA and a serial port.
If the EGA card can't be found, I'd settle for a replacement HD
controller that had a game port and serial port in addition to the
controller (then, I could sell my current game card and replace it
with an EGA).  I have called many mail-order places, and the closest
I came was an EGA card made by AST that also includes a serial port,
a parallel port, and a clock.  If I can't find the board I want, I
may wind up buying that for $170 and switching boards when I
want a joystick (and making do with CGA graphics).

Also, if I'm going to have an EGA, I need a moniter.  Does anyone
have any suggestions?  It has to be fairly inexpensive, and does
not have to be VGA-compatable (by the time I upgrade to VGA, I'll
have a new computer and new moniter).
