Twice as fast as VGA-chips from Trident Microsystems and Oak Technologies, the ET4000's only superior was a VRAM-based board from Video 7 along with ATI's VGAWonder+. Hardware graphics acceleration had not yet become mainstream, and so host-throughput was the dominating factor in a graphical-application's redraw speed. Equipped with an ET4000, a raw Windows PC would scroll text-windows noticeably faster and more smoothly. (According to Richard Ferraro's book Programmer's Guide to EGA, VGA, the original ET4000 devoted as much as 30% of its silicon die area to a large host-interface FIFO.)

Im Gegensatz zur CGA erlaubte die EGA 25 Zeilen mit je 80 Zeichen. Die maximale Auflösung lag bei 640x350 Bildpunkten. Sie konnte nun 16 Farben aus einer Palette von 64 möglichen Farbtönen gleichzeitig darstellen. Die hohe Auflösung ermöglichte eine deutlich erkennbare Schrift und durch die farbige Darstellung konnte man Schriftattribute wie Kursiv oder Fett hervorheben. Da der Speicherbedarf ebenfalls gestiegen ist (649 x 350 x 4 Bit =109 Kbyte ), wurde auf dieser Karte erstmals ein eigener RAM-Speicher mit 256Kbyte integriert. Eine Auflösung bis 800x600 war möglich aber sehr teuer. MDA-Grafikkarte MDA ( Monochrom Display Adapter ) only textmode capable 80x25 with 9x12 charactermatrix. Normal and bright characters possible.

Number Nine #9 GXiTC / back Year of manufacture: 1992 serial: 65581 Chipset: TMS34020 40 MHz (TIGA), Ti DAC with 135 MHz, Acumos2 (VGA) This card is split into a VGA part with Acumos2 chipset / 512 kB RAM (right part) and a graphics solution using TIGA standard (Texas Instruments Graphics Architecture) It consists of a TMS34020 graphics Digital Signal Processor with 1 MB instruction RAM and 4 MB own framebuffer RAM. The RAM is plugged as SIPP on the card. There is the option to plug a second TMS34020 graphics DSP in the free socket with 1 MB instruction RAM (free SIPP sockets). The TMS34020 is able to execute own programs from the instruction RAM and render accelerated 2D graphics into the framebuffer. This Demo shows this nicely on a 386 system. With the TIGA standard it was possible for the first time on PC to show TrueColor graphics. The 4 MB framebuffer of the card enables resolutions of 1024x768 at 16.7 mio. colors or 1280x1024 at 64K colors at 60 Hz refresh rate. The card is capable of displaying VGA and TIGA output at the same time on the two VGA connectors on the card. So with supporting applications it is possible to run a Dual View setup.

The wavetable ROM from Orchid is the original cards version, quality is rather poor. There is the option to load different DSP firmwares for GM or MT-32 playback mode. Cards versions: 1x 512 KB ROM or 2x 512 KB ROM from Orchid later new ROM ICs could be bought for $39.95 from Orchid with instrument samples from InnoVision. These require different drivers and DSP firmware and may have a different playback quality. (driver/manual present) In a comparison of wavetable boards from Heimlich (posted in Usenet in 1995) the playback quality for music using the better ROMs from InnoVision yielded a rating of 2 of 10 points. This is in line with my personal impression. See also wavetable recordings for comparison.

The design is similar to the Maxisound 64 Home Studio from Guillemot, but Terratec programmed their own firmware for the Dream SAM9407 and all available In- and Outputs have separate connectors. It is also possible to change the internal audio signal routing between the codec, DSP, mixer on the card by software. Highlights are: 64 channel DSP for Midi/Trackerfile playback, up to 64 MB Wavetable RAM. ( 2 MB RAM onboard, no ROM) max. 32 wave devices in Windows. 2 digital outputs, 1 digital inputs (optical or coaxial) on the 5.25" module optional Wavetable upgrade (connector in 5.25" module) 2 analog line-in with 16 bit / 48 kHz (Codec) and 18 bit / 48 kHz (Dream) 2 analog stereo outputs 2 duplex Midi interfaces 4 OP+ synthesizer and much more...
