I had a Tecmar Graphics Master in an IBM XT.  I never used it for
anything other than CGA compatibility.  The memory eventually
failed.  I only live about 15 minutes away from the Tecmar factory.
It tuned out that they weren't terribly interested in seeing their
card, quoting the $80 to fix it.

My solution was to get a asian made CGA work-alike from JDR
Microdevices in California.  It only cost $49.  The JDR card turned
out to do a better emulation of CGA graphics than the Tecmar card
anyway.  (The Graphics Master would occasionally weird-out when
used with IBM BASICA grphics; the clone does not.)

Sorry to not have a better suggestion, but I really think replacing
the card is the most effective solution.
