The TGA (if you mean the Tandy Graphics Adapter) is virtually identical to the PCjr graphics adapder. I have the Technical Reference Guide for the Tandy 1000TX, and it describes everything in much detail. Basically, it's a CGA plus a few couple of modes that are quad-interlaced. If someone needs info on those graphic modes, I can look it up and bang it out. -John
