We have talked with UltraStore and they have a new BIOS that fixes the problem
with ESIX. The card we have is marked "38001-007, (C)VSC'89,8F65" on the
BIOS ROM. This version is working no problem here at ESIX with the cache.

I have no idea if this works......

Until ATI sends us the card and tech specs it will not go above 640x480.
We have signed no-discloser with them and its wait and see........
