I've seen some Tseng Labs ET-4000 SVGA cards offered for
what look like unreasonably low prices....$90-100.  Are these
the same cards that X386 is said to support?

While we're on the subject, will there be any advantage to using
EISA video cards once EISA support is in the system?  The advantages
for disk controllers have been spelled out, but little's been said
about video.

thanks for reading
