Hi,

As I have it from my vendor ( a small outfit in Vancouver, WA., and from ATI
themselves), the EGA card was due to be shipped in the first week in November,
no it was the last week in November, NO NO, it was the first week in December.
NO NO NO NO, it has always been it will ship in the LAST week in December.

I have been out of town, and away since the last time I called ATI in December,
on or around the second week. Make your own conclusions... I have heard this
'IN FIFTEEN MORE DAYS' story before.

IF the product ever reaches any shelves, I will buy one to evaluate and will
post a short review (the shop has one on order for me, and one for themselves).

It seems to be the best solution for my Compaq Deskpro's monochrome monitor,
which will give 16 shades of grey at 720 by 352 resolution. I hope they start
making them soon.

One note of caution though... IBM has announced a new standard for their new
6 MHz 8086 based PC's. 640 x 480 x 1 mono, and 640 x 200 x 256 colors. This 
will be INCLUDED on the new system boards along with the floppy controller.

Expect a few new video boards to pop up (may be the reason for the delays from
ATI) in the near future with ALL the EGA and new modes.


Toodles....
