Paradise Modular Graphics Card (1984)
The first successful CGA-compatible card for monochrome MDA monitors.
Let owners of the sharp IBM monochrome monitor run CGA graphics software without buying a color display. Paradise was later bought by Western Digital (1986) and became a major VGA chip maker.
