From the project
Trident TVGA9000i based Super VGA board
The ISA Super VGA card is based on the Trident TVGA9000i Super VGA controller IC. It offers excellent compatibility with the original IBM VGA, as well as a good emulation of older CGA, EGA, Hercules and MDA adapters. The ISA Super VGA card was designed to be used with the Xi 8088 Processor Board, but it also works in IBM PC/XT and their clones. It will work in 16-bit ISA slots of AT-compatible computers, but its performance will be inferior to 16-bit VGA cards.
