The ATi Wonder series represents some of the first graphics add on products for IBM PCs and compatibles introduced by ATi Technologies in the mid to late 1980s. These cards were unique at the time as they offered the end user a considerable amount of value by combining support for multiple graphics standards (and monitors) into a single card. The VGA Wonder series added additional value with the inclusion of a bus mouse port, which normally required the installation of a dedicated Microsoft Bus Mouse adapter. The VGA Wonder series later merged with the ATI Mach series of cards in 1990. The ATi Graphics Ultra (VRAM) and ATi Graphics Vantage (DRAM) cards both featured independent VGA Wonder ASICs in addition to their Mach8 8514 compatible coprocessor chips. The Graphics Ultra was later renamed the VGA Wonder GT. In 1992, their following product line, the Mach32, integrated the VGA wonder core and coprocessor into a single IC. At this point the VGA Wonder line was cancelled and replaced with a cost reduced DRAM based version of Mach32 known as the "ATi Graphics Wonder". ==MDA/CGA Cards== ''Release Date: 1986'' ATi Graphics Solution Rev 3 * Chipset: ATI CW16800-A * Supports: Hercules Graphics Card mode * Port: 8-bit PC/XT bus ATi Color Emulation Card * Did at least support CGA graphics output to a TTL Monochrome monitor ATi Graphics Solution plus (1987) * Chipset: ATI CW16800-B * Supports CGA, Plantronics Colorplus CGA & Hercules Graphics Card graphics modes * Compatible with MDA, CGA (and therefore also EGA displays), DIP switch selectable * 64kb of DRAM * Port: 8-bit PC/XT bus Graphics Solution Plus SP * Chipset: ATI CW16800-B * Adds Serial/Parallel Ports Graphics Solution SR * Chipset: ATI CW16800-B * Uses Static RAM ATi Small Wonder Graphics Solution (1988) * Chipset: ATI 18700 * Also known as Graphics Solution Single Chip or just GS-SC * Single-chip version of the Graphics Solution plus * 64kb of static RAM * Composite Output Graphics Solution Single Chip or GS-SC with Game (1988) * Includes a game port * Lacks external composite connector 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「ATI Wonder series」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
