I just got a EGA card from Basic Time. I was not very pleased with what I got.
First of all, it did not run the more complicated programs written for the CGA
card. The manual said it was "bios level compatible," but I found out how far
that gets me with some programs. It also has some switches and jumper with
which I am supposedly able to make it emulate many other cards, including the
CGA. This also failed to work properly. I am now looking for other EGA cards
that are truly compatible to CGA. I would appreciate mail from some of you
knowledgable folks. If I get a large enough response and interest, I'll post
the results to this group.

thanks in advance.
