High resolution, up to 1024 x 768 with 256 colors Fully software compatible with five popular video standards: VGA, EGA, CGA, MDA, and Hercules monochrome graphics Supports analog or TTL CRTs Feature connector for external device connection Stacks directly with Ampro CPU and expansion products Ultra-compact PC/104 form-factor: 3.6 x 3.8 inches (90 x 96 mm) Low power, rugged, and reliable The MiniModule/SuperVGA expansion module offers full software compatibility with five popular PC video standards VGA, EGA, CGA, MDA, and Hercules monochrome graphicsin a compact, low power, module designed to stack directly with Ampro's Little Board and CoreModule family products. With its full 1 megabyte of display memory populated, the module supports "super VGA" high resolution graphics of up to 1024 x 768 pixels in 256 colors. Both Analog and TTL CRT monitors can be connected. Also, the module's VGA feature connector interface allows connection of certain electro-luminescent (EL) display panels, as well as other types of unique video input and output interfaces. The MiniModule/SuperVGA is sup- ported by virtually all operating systems, drivers, utilities, and applications for text and graphics display because of its com- patibility with standard PC video modes. Thanks to the use of the popular Tseng Labs ET4000 controller, software support is widely available for the module's SuperVGA modes. The MiniModule/VGA can be installed directly on Ampro Little Board and CoreModule family CPU or expansion products, in any PC/104 module-stack position. The module can stack directly with the stackthrough bus headers of other PC/104 modules, without additional adapters or accessories.
