Single-chip version of the Graphics Solution plus.
Also known as Graphics Solution Single Chip or just GS-SC.Compatible with MDA, CGA (and therefore also EGA displays), DIP switch selectableĪTi Small Wonder Graphics Solution (1988).Supports CGA, Plantronics Colorplus CGA & Hercules Graphics Card graphics modes.Did at least support CGA graphics output to a TTL Monochrome monitor.As can be seen from the PCB the layout was done in 1985, whereas the marking on the central chip CW16800-A says "8639" meaning that chip was manufactured week 39, 1986. One of the early graphics cards from ATI Technologies: a Graphics Solution Rev 3 Hercules graphics card from 1986. At this point the VGA Wonder line was cancelled and replaced with a cost reduced DRAM based version of Mach32 known as the "ATi Graphics Wonder". In 1992, their following product line, the Mach32, integrated the VGA wonder core and coprocessor into a single IC. The Graphics Ultra was later renamed the VGA Wonder GT. The ATi Graphics Ultra (VRAM) and ATi Graphics Vantage (DRAM) cards both featured independent VGA Wonder ASICs in addition to their Mach8 8514 compatible coprocessor chips. The VGA Wonder series later merged with the ATI Mach series of cards in 1990. The VGA Wonder series added additional value with the inclusion of a bus mouse port, which normally required the installation of a dedicated Microsoft Bus Mouse adapter. These cards were unique at the time as they offered the end user a considerable amount of value by combining support for multiple graphics standards (and monitors) into a single card. The ATi Wonder series represents some of the first graphics add on products for IBM PCs and compatibles introduced by ATi Technologies in the mid to late 1980s. 4.8.1 Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 1 & 2.
