There should have been two diskettes with the card that contains
MS Windows (2.0), GEM, AutoCAD, Cadvance, Ventura Publisher and
Framework drivers.  Our (5.25") diskettes are labelled: "VGA Plus
Card Utilities Version 1.5" and contain the following files:

===Disk One===
 25           gemsetup.rsc ibmpss18.fnt make.bat     readme.bat   romcheck.com
 43           gemsetup.txt ibmpss36.fnt pvga1.sc     readme.p1    sd_ps800.ega
 acad.txt     gs800.drv    ibmptr07.fnt pvga2.sc     readme.p2    vgaplus.exe 
 ds800.exe    gsvga.drv    ibmptr10.fnt pvga3.sc     readme.p3    vp1_1.txt   
 ds800r9.exe  ibmpss07.fnt ibmptr14.fnt pvga4.sc     readme.p4    vpdriver.exe
 gemprint.sys ibmpss10.fnt ibmptr18.fnt pvga5.sc     readme.p5   
 gemsetup.app ibmpss14.fnt ibmptr36.fnt pvga800.sys  readme.p6   

===Disk Two===
 123fd.bat    font_25.i    pvga.drv     rambios.sys  sp0_25s.drv  symfd.bat   
 123hd.bat    font_43.i    pvga.grb     readme.bat   sp0_43s.drv  symhd.bat   
 cpylts.bat   lotus.txt    pvga.lgo     readme2.p1   sp1_480s.drv windows.txt 
 ds480.exe    program.txt  rambios.exe  readme2.p2   sp1_600s.drv

You should talk to whoever installed the cards to find out where the
drivers are.
