[comp.sys.ibm.pc] ATI Wonder Video Adapter in Z-158

anderson@uwmacc.UUCP (Jess Anderson) (01/08/87)

According to an article in the most recent PC Week, a new graphics
board called the "EGA Wonder" (who names these things, anyway?)
from ATI Technologies, Inc. is "a universal video adapter that
allows the use of nearly any monitor with any video standard in
any display mode" and costs $399. The article mentions that the
card (which is short) fits in 8-bit busses and works in PCs and
XTs, plus some (but not all) compatibles. It's the "but not all"
I'm inquiring about here. Has anyone tried the thing (it's been
out since November, apparently) in a Zenith-158? If so, what
experiences did you have? I'll summarize e-mailed responses to
the net if appropriate.

Once again... The EGA Wonder from ATI has been MARKETED since November
and since then they have promised shipping "in about a week" every time I 
have called them. I will post information when I actually see one of
the ATI cards in my hot little hands. ATI is about 5 miles from my home.
