This is cross-posted to several UNIX groups for Intel 386 platforms. 
Please respond via e-mail.

Does your system support 24-bit, true color graphics hardware for 386 PCs?
If so, who are the vendors, and what do the boards cost roughly?

Secondly, does your system support 24-bit color ON THE CHEAP?  I, for
instance, have a Cirrus Logic 5426 based card, which can do 640 x 480 x
24-bit color, if I only had a driver for it.  The card was $200.  Does
your platform offer anything comparable?

Thanks in advance,
Brandon
