I am using a Sigma Designs VGA/H card with an NEC Multisync Plus and am 
pretty pleased with the combination.  So far the card has worked fine 
with all software designed for MDA, Herc, CGA, EGA, and VGA - it has a 
program that you run to tell the card what kind of emulation you want.  I 
have encountered one minor problem with Sidekick not restoring the screen 
properly in EGA emulation, but since I always leave the card in VGA 
emulation it does not bother me.
I purchased the card mail order from California Digital.  I believe the 
price was $269.
I also had a Vega Video 7 board before the Sigma Designs board and wound 
up returning it because it would not work properly.
