The ATI Wonder is a series of video cards for the IBM Personal Computer and compatibles, introduced by ATI Technologies in the mid to late 1980s.[1][2][3] 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 VGA Wonder series added additional value with the inclusion of a bus mouse port,[4] which normally required the installation of a dedicated Microsoft Mouse adapter.

The VGA Wonder series later merged with the ATI Mach series of cards in 1990. The ATI Graphics Ultra (VRAM) and ATI Graphics Vantage (DRAM) cards both featured independent VGA Wonder ASICs in addition to their Mach8 8514 compatible graphics processor. The Graphics Ultra was later renamed the VGA Wonder GT. In 1992, their following product line, the Mach32, integrated the VGA wonder core and coprocessor into a single IC. 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.

MDA/CGA cards

One of the early graphics cards from ATI Technologies: a Graphics Solution Rev 3 Hercules graphics card from 1986. 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.

ATI Graphics Solution Rev 3 (1986)

  • Chipset: ATI CW16800-A
  • Supports: Hercules Graphics Card mode and extended 132 × 25 / 132 × 44 text-modes on TTL monochrome monitors
  • Supports: All CGA modes on both CGA/EGA and TTL monochrome monitors
  • Switching between CGA and Hercules compatibility is done via supplied utility (VSET.EXE) and doesn't require a reboot
  • Composite video output is available on an internal 3-pin connector (no support for colors, works only in the 40 × 25 text-mode or 320 × 200 graphics modes)
  • Port: 8-bit PC/XT bus
