It advertises "Any Software, Any Monitor, Any Time", and the ad shows software for EGA, CGA, Hercules, and 132 columns running on an EGA monitor, a TTL monitor, and a CGA monitor. Anyhow, this intrigued me because I currently have a CGA setup on my PC, and this LOOKS like a way to upgrade to EGA capabilities on the cheap. I talked to a friend of mine who's a dealer... he never heard of the card before and laughed at the very IDEA of doing EGA-type things on a CGA monitor... Anyway, has anyone out there in net-land had any experience with the EGA Wonder card? Is it all it's cracked up to be? +----------------+ Jim Paradis | Disclaimer: All opinions are +--+-------------+ | Encore Computer Corp. | completely my own.
