I will be receiving a 286 machine soon. It has an EGA card installed but I don't have an EGA monitor. I want to shop around for a 16-bit VGA card while I wait for the machine to arrive.
The last VGA card I bought was for my Epson Equity 1+ and I was looking for a card with an 8-bit bus card edge. With that being somewhat rare, I bought what I could find.
Now I have a whole lot more to choose from but I cannot what remember was considered good and bad back in the 80s and 90s. I remember I had a Trident SVGA card of some kind. These seem plentiful on eBay.
I intend to run Windows and maybe some light gaming.
Should I just go with another Trident card or should I look at something else?
Thanks!
