I have read articles in PC Week about the EGA Wonder.  It looks
like a great video card (although I havn't seen an actual demo
of one yet).  The EGA Wonder accomplishes EGA mode on CGA monitors 
by using a technique called interlace.  This is where every other 
video line is drawn during each refresh cycle.  The downfall to this
is that you can occasionally see screen flicker (especially when
there is lots of "white" on the screen).

As for price, I have seen it advertised for $299.00 in PC Week.
If anyone purchases one of these video cards, please post a review 
of it tested on various monitors.
