    Has anyone out there been able to put an STB VGA Extra/EM card on
Xenix successfully?  There is supposed to be a newer 100% VGA register
compatible version out soon, so I would be looking at this one, not the
BIOS compatible one out earlier.  I'm using a Compaq 286.  I'd also be
interested if you have any flames on this particular card.  If this card
isn't a viable option, are there any other EVGA cards ( 800 x 600 x 256
colors ) cards available that would meet these criteria?  I realize that
SCO doesn't support these extended modes at this time, but I'd like the
availability of the extended VGA modes for the future when I can find or
write a driver myself.  For now having working driver support for the
straight EGA, VGA modes with minimal or no hardware compatibility gotchas
would suffice.
