This is something that has been bothering me for quite sometime and I would
like a confirmation from somebody on this matter.

Does the ATI VGA Wonder have the ability to emulate VGA or EGA on any monitor
(i.e. function as an ATI EGA Wonder)?  I'm debating whether or not to buy this
card, and if it can do even EGA emulation on a monochrome monitor, I will be
happy.  Upgrading the card is a high priority, but the monitor isn't since I
really don't need the color, but I do like the ability to emulate even EGA
which is impressive via the EGA Wonder card.

If the VGA Wonder can't do this, then I guess I'm stuck buying an EGA Wonder
and upgrading the system as a whole to a VGA Wonder and VGA monitor when my
bank account can handle it.  I basically want VGA (or even EGA) emulation
capabilities on a monochrome monitor which fits my needs perfectly.
