Hi All,
I managed to pick up (fairly cheap) an ATI Graphic Solution
EGA/CGA/HERC card, and from what I have "hacked" (no manuals) the card
can do the aformentioned video modes, and has a parallel and serial port
on it. Does ANYONE have a manual on this thing, or at least be able to
tell me what the (2) sets of DIP switches are assigned to (one on the
Video portion, and one on the parallel/serial portion)? I've managed to
get the thing to work in all of the video modes, but I was curious as to
whether the card was capable of the "EGA Emulation" type modes, giving
more color and EGA compatibility on a CGA type monitor.
Any help would be immensely appreciated,

Hello I have an ATI Graphics solution, though it has no printer/serial port, and is only CGA/Herc compatible. The nice thing is that it is Plantronics compatible, almost useless, but there is one program that uses the special modes of this card, Cshow, with it I can view GIF's at 320x200x16 and 640x200x16, better than normal CGA. If only I had drivers for Sierra games for it... I have special 16 color drivers for an Amstrad 1512 CGA card, but that doesn't work on an ATI... Rob
