Designed to be low-end budget cards with the VGA Wonder+ at the higher end, they offered 800 x 600 resolution in 16 colours, and served as a price-sensitive upgrade for those still on the EGA standard.
Because of the budget-nature of the EDGE series, they omitted the 9-pin digital TTL output port as well as the bus mouse port found on the more premium ATI cards.
