ATi's Color Emulation Card

There aren't any pictures available right? And it is ISA of course.

Edit... for Kaypro, I think you might find that card in a 286i Model D... if it was a color card - here are a few links:

But the year from the manual doesn't line up with the supposed year of introduction... manual is 1985 and the Color Emulation Card was supposedly 1986.

Do we even know if the chip was ATI branded? There is virtually no real information that I could find. It could have used some other chip and companies putting their name on cards was not a give... especially if the cards were sold to OEMs.
