• CGA, Hercules, MDA, EGA and Plantronics (CGA 16 colors)

• 8bit

• Only 5 Dip switches.

  • Dipswitch 6=on for autodetect did not work on my CGA2SCART and MY 5151 Monochrome monitor

  • In my experience we must use dipswitch 1 to 4 to set MDA/Hercules, CGA or EGA.

• PEGA utility did not work to change modes.

  • That also meant that one can not choose Plantronics mode 

• Hercules mode works fine with IBM 5151

• Location: Shelf

• CGA, Hercules, MDA, EGA and Plantronics.

• The colors stopped working in CGA 09.august 2023

  • Fixed. DIP-switches was wrong. For VGA all off except "1"

• Strengths and weaknesses:

  • CGA/EGA and VGA output. Good compatability, slow in DOS and Windows

• Location: Box

• ISA 16-bit

• 256 KB or 512 KB DRAM?

• 800x600 in 16 colours

• The key benefit of the VGA-16 was its ability to access video memory using 16-bit addressing.

• Link: DOS Days - Video 7 VGA 1024i (1989) 

• You can use the Video Seven utility V7VGA.COM to change the card's compatibility mode and ESU.COM to change the mode being used. See the Downloads section for more details.

• This is a good DOS, Windows 3.1, GEM/3 versions 3.0 and 3.1 card. Suitable for XT and AT machines.

• V7VGA.COM - set the card to emulate CGA, Hercules 'half' or Hercules 'full', or pure VGA/extended VGA. You can also enable a screen saver to be active.

• RAMBIOS.SYS - installs the video ROM BIOS into main memory for faster BIOS calls

• Strengths and weaknesses:

  • Lots of RAM, fast in DOS and Windows, but not as fast as cards with co processor.

• Sound Blaster CT3670 - The Covert AWE64 Value

• The CT3670 is unique among the Sound Blaster 32 line of cards because it is effectively an AWE64 Value, but with SIMM slots and without onboard RAM. A SIMM is far easier to obtain than one of Creative's proprietary memory modules. The CT3670 chipset is identical to the AWE64 cards with model numbers CT4380 and CT4500.

• 2MB RAM. Only needs 2 MB on-board ram to do MT-32 emulation.

• Plug'n Play
