Hi all,

Below is (the promised, yet sparse) survey of cards being used outside
by various people. I left the addresses of the original posters in
for reference. I'm continuing this list and everyone  is invited to send
me email with his configuration or suggestions.
 
Here again the template:

MFGR:               AcuMos
CARD NAME:          AcuMos AVGA2 / 512kB
CARD USES CHIPSET:  AcuMos (own chipset), some similarities with Cirrus
                    AVGA cards (1 & 2) (and Western Digital WD90xx ?)
GO32 VARIABLE USED: driver $(DRIVERPATH)/acumos.grn gw 640 gh 480 nc 256
                     --- '' ---                        800    600    256
                     --- '' ---         some 16 color modes up to 1024x768
                     --- '' ---         /stdvga.gr(nd) works, too
                     --- '' ---         /cirrus.grn works in some modes.

MFGR: ATI
CARD NAME: Grapphics Ultra Plus (EISA)
CARD USES CHIPSET: Mach32
GO32 VARIABLE(S) USED: go32=driver /<path>/atiguplu.grn 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From: <LIP AT odie DOT ee DOT wits DOT ac DOT za>
MFGR: Paradise
CARD NAME: Paradise SUPER VGA 16 bit
CARD USES CHIPSET: Western Digital
GO32 VARIABLE(S) USED: 
 
GO32=ansi driver c:/djgpp/drivers/paradnew.grn tw 80 th 25 gw 640 gh 
400 nc 256 nodpmi
NOTES:
Note that I use NNANSI (customized to the Paradise card) to achieve 
additional non standard text modes with Libgrx and enhanced text mode 
performance.  GO32 is a modified version of 1.10c which fixes the 
paging bug.  Note also that 640x400 is the highest 256 color mode 
available with only 256K of video ram: with 512K one can do 640x480 
in 256 colors.  The card can do 800x600 in 16 colors.  The performance 
of this card is nothing to rave about.  Paradnew.grn is a fixed 
version of the standard paradise driver so that 640x400 and 640x480 
256 color modes work correctly using the new style graphics drivers 
and has ModeX support.

MFGR: Diamond
CARD NAME: SpeedStar 24X
CARD USES CHIPSET: Western Digital 90C3X
GO32 VARIABLE(S) USED: driver ss24x.grn (better), or driver wd90c3x.grn (okay)

MFGR:			ATI Technologies Inc.
CARD NAME:		Graphics Ultra+/2MB
CARD USES CHIPSET:	Mach32
GO32 VARIABLE(S) USED:	
	set GO32=ansi driver d:/gcc/drivers/atiultra.grn gw 800 gh 600 nc 256

From: "Greg Holmberg" <greg AT surfgear DOT com>
 
MFR: Diamond Computer Systems
CARD NAME: SpeedStar 24X (1 mb)
CHIPSET: Western Digital 90C31
GO32 SETTINGS: ansi driver wd90c3x.grn gw 1024 gh 768 nc 16 tw 80 th 25
NOTES:
I use DJGPP under DV/X (dvx.cfg screen mode 305Ch).
 
I only use the 16 color mode because the blitting is so slow under 256
colors that my animation rate goes down <10 fps and becomes very flickery.
(The SS24X is an ISA card, btw).

MFGR:			ATI
CARD NAME:		ATI Graphics Ultra Pro (Gateway 2000 local bus version)
CARD USES CHIPSET:	ATI
GO32 VARIABLE(S) USED: various.  see below
NOTES:
I've been experimenting with various drivers for the ATI.
VGA.GRD seems to work
ATI.GRD seems to work
ATUGUP.GRN does NOT seem to work.  I think that I will investigate this one.
In all cases, I use nodpmi (because I run with 386MAX) in the variable.
