You are probably referring to the Logos brand Platinum VGA card. I have one
and it seems to be pretty good. The people at Logos are a bunch of
id*ots that like to waste a lot of your long distance money (no toll
free line). I got transfered, placed on hold, and had my time wasted
only to tell me that they did not have Windows 3.0 drivers yet, and
suggested that I get their Tseng Labs (1 MB) card with Windows 3.0
drivers. They claimed that they write their own drivers (no indication
of that as the documentation, except for the cover, obviously
comes from Trident as do the drivers). They couldn't even estimate
when they would have the drivers or give me a phone number or address
that I could reach Trident.

Decent card, lousy company... Any nice comments out there?
