I downloaded these drivers off the Paradise BBS and loaded it on my
system which has a Paradise PRO VGA with 512K. I then opened up a 256
color PCX file in the Windows 3.0 Paint program and it looked as it
should.

If anybody is interested in downloading this driver set, I have it
posted on Power Board 608-222-8842 which has an HST modem on it. The
file is named WIN3_0.exe (great name eh?). It has drivers for all the
Paradise VGA video cards.
