I have read articles in PC Week about the EGA Wonder. It looks like a great video card (although I havn't seen an actual demo of one yet). The EGA Wonder accomplishes EGA mode on CGA monitors by using a technique called interlace. This is where every other video line is drawn during each refresh cycle. The downfall to this is that you can occasionally see screen flicker (especially when there is lots of "white" on the screen). As for price, I have seen it advertised for $299.00 in PC Week. If anyone purchases one of these video cards, please post a review of it tested on various monitors. -- ________________________________________________________________________________ Tom Levin {ihnp4|sdcrdcf|ttidca|scgvaxd|nrcvax| "Everyone could stand 100 jplpro|hoptoad|csun|quad1|bellcore| x-rays a year...and they logico|rdlvax} !psivax!tommie should have them too!"
