Processor Chip? is marked thus:
PARADISE'88
PVGA1A-JK
00-02 9001
028136201402

There is a 3pin Jumper on the Card and a 4switch DIP Switch accessed thru the Backplane.
It gives me lovely Hi-Res Autoexec Echo from the 5150, using a VGA Monitor. So I assume VGA.
Doesn't wanna know anything about color in DOS. Like I get White Blank areas, where it should be Bright White Text on Red for The Prompt, or Bright White on Blue for Command and Text.
Win2 I assume would need a Driver.
So what do we know about this Card please Guys?
Cheers Rolf.

I had one in my 386 IIRC- PVGA- Paradise VGA

It should be a 256 or 512K (1MB?) VGA Card.

How is this for a start:

I got one from service merchandise back in 1990.
Put it in my 10mhz XT.

Never had a problem with it...
and now I have another one...
Don't remember the docs, but it was simple, only what, 16 combinations?
but in the xt it was dip switched to have a color display...[/list]

Here you go!!

DIP Switch/jumper settings: Paradise Pvga

VGA Plus, VGA Plus 16, VGA Professional Dip Switch Settings.

Switch 1 Monitor Type. ON: Multi frequency, OFF: Standard VGA
Switch 2 VGA Mode Switching Style. ON: PS/2 Style - All modes available
on all monitors, OFF: PC/AT Style - color on color, mono on mono
Switch 3 Not used - Set to OFF
Switch 4 (Not VGA Plus) 8bit vs 16bit AutoSense. ON: Auto sense 8/16bit

It's a PVGA1A Paradise VGA card and has 256KB onboard. There is a VESA 1.0 .COM driver floating around out there for it (not scitech display doctor but something else) that I have found to work to provide VESA 640x400x256, if that helps.
