Old 1996 issues of Electrical Design News or Electronic Design

The discussion centers on locating a specific advertisement from a 1996 issue of Electrical Design News (EDN) or Electronic Design magazines, specifically volumes and issues likely containing the ad. The ad in question is for the Samsung KS82C614A, a 3D-accelerated graphics controller. Efforts to find scans or copies of the ad include checking Harvard University's bound EDN collections, the American Radio History archive, the Alabama Historical Radio Society, and Google Books, but these sources either lack the relevant issues or provide limited content. The EDN online archive only extends back to 2013, and Archive.org's collection starts from 2005. Attempts to contact Samsung directly about the KS82C614A have been unsuccessful. The ad remains elusive, and physical access to bound magazine volumes at libraries is suggested as a potential solution for obtaining a scan or photograph of the advertisement.
