minus-square@PetteriPanolink11•edit-22 days agoIt was a shiny EGA card. On an 8-bit ISA bus, with a whopping 64kB of VRAM. It could display an amazing 16 colours on one screen. My friend who had a CGA card was so jelly with his four eye-soaring neon colours. If we’re talking accelerated graphics, I bought a voodoo 2 with 8mb of RAM which linked up to my ATI Mach 64 2d-card.
