To follow up, I have one setup with a Genoa paradise 64 PCI running
(1024x768x16 bit) and a mono text herc card, A cirrus logic 54xx
built into a gateway motherboard (1024x768x256 color) with a mono text
card, a Diamond Stealth 32 with 2 meg VRAM (1024x768x16bit) and a herc
card in text, and a ATI mach 64 with 2 megs VRAM, (1280x1024x256
colors) and a mono card. (These are three different people total).
All I can tell you is that they all work flawlessly.
