I tried the ATI board in a 10 MHz 0WS 80286, though that shouldn't make a diff. The Zenith is 4.77MHz ?WS 8088. I tried the EGA Wonder board in all three major modes (Mono, Cga, and Colour Enhanced, M80, C80, and CE80 respectively). I tried each with and without the "advanced features" enabled. The speed for each mode was the same except for mono mode. Mono was slower in enabled, and gave two different speeds running the test successively in disabled mode. I think it would be useful to collect all these speeds and post a summary for SIMTEL20 or something similar. -- =====================Grant Prellwitz========================== !ihnp4!gargoyle!sphinx!pre1 pre1@sphinx.UChicago.edu 76474,2121 (CIS) G.PRELLWITZ (GEnie) pre1 (BIX) -----> contents sole responsibility of poster. <-----
