> The IBM EGA card came out in 1984, same year as the Mac, and supported 640x350 with 16 colors,

The IBM PCjr also came out the same year as the Mac and the 128KB model supported 640x200 with 4 colors (and up to 320x200 with 16). A lot less expensive than a PC with EGA.

I was excluding it because 4 colors is pretty rough looking, so I’d assume that the people making the Mac would go for 1 bit or 4.
