Arrived today:

The attachment IMG_0795r.jpg is no longer available

Looks new, but Driver Disk is just a copy. Cover is missing, hope its readable.

According to the manual its EGA/CGA comatible. Not sure about other features or PGC compatability. Output is analog at least.

Did a first test and tried to connect to a VGA Monitor with a standard DB9-15Pin Adapter. Did not display anything on my Samtron. But to my surprise it worked on my Dell 2709W!

Did not expect it because the output has composite sync.

It seems it booted with CGA enabled. When I try to switch to EGA mode sync is lost. But the 1024x768 mode also works.

As the Pin assignments were identical I tried to connect to my Thomson EGA/PGC monitor. It doesnt sync in the correct way. I disconnected at once not to damage anything. Therefore...the output of the MVA is not compatible to PGA..nice card anyway 😉

Got another specimen of this outstanding card for cheap. This time it also included the software manual.

PS: I am still searching for TIGAstar/tigacard drivers 😉
TIGA driver needed: Texas Instruments tigacard ("TIGAStar")
