I got a 286, a commodore pc30-iii, that came with an ATI EGA Wonder card. I presume it is an ok card for a 286, but I have my setup all connected with RGBS. I have to admit I've never dabbled with EGA before and I'd prefer if I found a space for the computer that made it able to use its monitor and not on a shelf in my setup. But in case it goes into the setup - not that easy to figure out how it works from the pinout alone so instead of spending hours reading up on it I might ask someone who knows it well:

There is something about a 64 color EGA when using secondary colors. It is RGBi like CGA? Just with a mode that uses extra set of pins (on compatible displays I presume)? The monitor is a TVM MD-700, which I can't find anything on to know what it supports or not and if it is a good ega monitor or not. It sounds like it is easier just to replace the card with a VGA card and and run it through my vga to rgbs circuit.
I'm mostly collecting non-pc home computers, but I grew up with both an XT and a 486 so it is fun to remember those days too
