	Does anyone know just what configurations of mouse port/digital
monitor support are available (and current)?  ATI, on their BBS, has
a statement that all *real* VGA Wonder cards include a mouse.  They
point out that some vendors sell the ATI OEM product, "VGA1024" as
a VGA Wonder in violation of their policy.  This appears to be true, and
the VGA1024s they sell don't have either a mouse port or digital monitor
support.  Ok, so that explains the low price...  However, when I ask
how much more a real VGA Wonder will cost the response is that only
older versions of the card have digital monitor support and the included
BIOS is several revisions behind.  (Oh, and they cost ~$45 more...)
So, is it true that I would have to buy an out-of-date card to get
the extra features?
