Hi! I currently have an IBM EGA card driving an IBM enhanced color
display on an AT. I would also like to be able to run specialized software
which has only a Hercules graphics driver. In addition, I'd like to get away
from the notoriously buggy IBM EGA BIOS (screen bounce, flicker, etc.). I
have found ads for a number of cards providing EGA/CGA/Hercules compatability.
Has anyone had experience with or heard about the following cards?
Also, do these cards likely just copy the IBM BIOS or provide their
own, and how do they "automatically sense" what mode they should be in?
1) SigmaEGA! by Sigma Designs
2) MegaGraph-Plus by ATronics International
3) TurboEGA and OrchidEGA by Orchid
4) QuadEGA+ by Quadram
5) SupremeEGA by Tatung Co.
6) EGA WONDER from EMJ DataSystems
7) SmartEGA by Micro Computers of Canada
Replies by e-mail, I will post a summary. Thanks!
