        Several months ago I had  the distinct  pleasure of  getting an EGA
Wonder card (after being wait-listed for several months).  I  have an Amdek
monochrome monitor now and I haven't any problems with *any* software; CGA,
EGA,  Herc, or  Text, with  this card  (Lotus v2.0  works great  in 132 col
mode).  I bought it because I wanted a card that would run  all my software
now and then when (soon I hope) I can afford  to get  a Multi-Sync monitor,
I'll still be able to run all my software without  changing graphics cards.
At the time this was the only card that would do this, I don't know if this
is true anymore however.  I also have a friend  who bought  one.   He has a
CGA monitor now but someday plans on upgrading to Multi-Sync.   He has also
had no problems I'm aware of.  

        I highly recommend this card.   I  hope you  don't have  to wait as
long as I did to get it though.
