Subject: Paradise VGA longshot
I know this is a longshot, but I'm looking for the
settings of all five
DIP switches on a Paradise VGA card from 1990. It has two strings on
the board, either of which could be the make/model:
PWBA 4316 0134-000
or
PW800 VGA
I'm assuming it's a paradise card, because the actual chip on it is from
Western Digital Corp. (a WD90C11-LR) and Paradise used them nearly
exclusively.
The reason I'm asking is because I'm looking for an 8-bit ISA VGA card,
and while this card is 16-bit, some of them could be DIP-switched to run
in an 8-bit slot.
There are five DIP switches on the backplate. No, I am not going to
plug it into my 5160 and power cycle it 32 times to go hunting for
something that works :)
