3.6 VGA Stereo·F/X FCCID:EXMVGAFX

In 1991, VGA Stereo·F/X is a combo card that ATI integrated the functions of VGA Wonder XL graphics card and Stereo·F/X sound card. worth collecting. The VGAudio FX board and Audio FX board will be shipped in the third quarter.

3.6.1 VGA Stereo·F/X

3.6.2 Stereo·F/X

ATI has produced two sound cards. In addition to the Stereo·F/X with 8-bit ISA interface, there is also a Stereo·F/X CD with 16-bit ISA interface.

4. Mach8 series

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the era of DOS operating system, computers did not require high display technology. The graphics card at that time was called a display adapter, and its only function was image output, while the real graphics operations all depended on the CPU. With the advent of the Microsoft Windows operating system, the previous display adapters were overwhelmed. With the development of technology and the application of various software, the demand for computer graphics interface is getting higher and higher, and the Mach series came into being.

The ATI Mach8 line was a series of 2D graphics accelerators for personal computers developed by ATI Technologies.Being one of the first graphics accelerator chips on the market, the Mach 8 did not have an integrated VGA core. It was essentially a clone of the IBM 8514/A .

The Mach8 chip was sampled in September 1989, and the Mach8 graphics card was finalized in November 1990, and finally sold in early 1991. It is ATI's second-generation graphics chip.

4.1 8514/Ultra

FCCID:EXMULTRA1

Ati 38800 CHIP,1MB VRAM.

The FCCID certification passed date is January 23, 1991.

This is ATI's first 2D graphics accelerator card optimized for Windows, but like IBM's 8514/A, it can only handle 2D graphics operations but cannot provide VGA output.

ATi 8514/Ultra is addon accelerator with dual bus options 16-bit/16-bit ISA and MCA。

4.1.1 PN 1090011300

The picture below is a picture of the 8514/Ultra graphics card on the 8514/Ultra graphics box. Both the graphics card and the graphics accelerator chip are engineering samples. In this period, the two digits after PN are 00 are engineering samples.

8514/Ultra AT BUS used ATI38800 graphics processing chip, 1MB VRAM video memory, ISA interface.

（From ctesales）

There is also a MAC interface version of 8514/Ultra MCA BUS, FCCID: EXM8514MC. All have OEM version.

Later, there was 8514 Vantage AT dedicated to OEM, FCCID: EXMVANAT1, 1MB 　 DRAM video memory, ISA interface.

4.4 Graphics Vantage

PN 1090011840 FCCID:EXMCOMBODM

（From Pirx on vgamuseum.info）

Graphics Vantage is similar to Graphics Ultra, but it is equipped with 512KB +1MB DRAM video memory.

The Mach 8 series has not gained much commercially, and ATI even renamed Graphics Ultra to VGA Wonder

GT tried to rely on the fame of the previous generation "VGA Wonder" to open up sales.

5. Mach32 series

In April 1992, ATI released the Mach 32 graphics card with integrated graphics controller and graphics accelerator. The "32" in Mach 32 refers to the 32-bit architecture design, and the GUI 2D graphics acceleration capability is added for the first time. It supports ISA/EISA/VESA/MCA interfaces. Since ATI is a participant in the VESA Local Bus specification formulated in August 1992, the Mach 32 graphics card has become an earlier graphics card that supports 32bit VLB interfaces.

Nov. 16-20 COMDEX Fall '92，ATI Technologies Inc. announced the first Windows accelerator chip designed to support Intel’s PCI local bus specification.

On April 30, 1993, after the establishment of the PCI standard led by INTEL, ATI first developed the MACH32 graphics card with PCI interface.

The Mach 32 graphics card has graphics processing capabilities, which is different from the previous VGA Card that simply has the display function. The Mach 32 graphics card is a graphics accelerator card called Graphics Card.

The chip of the Graphics Ultra Pro graphics card below is an early version of Mach32 (68800-3), and the Mach32 logo has not yet been printed. The chip date on the card is 9238 weeks, which is the release date of the ISA version in mid-September, and the PCB date is 9242 weeks, which is mid-October. Also, the latest date of the components on the card is 9243 weeks, and the release year on the PCB is 1992.

Graphics Ultra Pro's VESA interface prototype card has been evaluated in October. Its performance is slightly higher than the ISA interface Graphics Ultra Pro, which is much higher than the VESA interface S3 86C911 and ET4000 chip graphics cards.In November, brand computers started using Graphics Ultra Pro with VESA interface.It can be seen that it should be available for retail sale in November 1992. Later than the ISA interface version.
