The ITT "Integrated Graphics Adapter" in conjunction with their version of DOS
3.1 has a 44 line display capability using the Hercules standard. Other
functions included on the board are:
     - CGA support via a seperate output port
     - Serial and Parallel ports (optional cable set required)
     - Hardware clock
     - 384K RAM (optional modle)
This is a slot saver for any XT clone.
