As far as the info AT&T has released, The Answer is Yes.  The
installation of the card requires the disabling of the Indiginous
Display card, but so does installation of an EGA card.

The new card allow the use of the old monitor you have for EGA. The
sweep frequency of the monitor is fast enough to handle EGA with no
problem because it can already handle DEB.

If you already have a AT&T color monitor, Check out the new board.
The board lists a a great deal less then the DEB and supports EGA.

BTW:  AT&T is now giving a shipping date of Feb 1 for the new boards.
