There are two 16-bit VGA cards with the Tatung name on them.  The
FastWrite clone is limited to 256 k RAM and does indeed use the
Video7 chip set.

The other Tatung card uses the Paradise chips, can be expanded to
512k RAM and is an inferior-performing card (in our BIOS-bypassing
tests) to the FastWrite Clone.

We have standardized on the Tatung FastWrite clone for our purchases.
We buy them for $235 from KIS Computer Center, Milpitas CA, (408-942-8088).
