Just to let you know re: the Paradise 16 bit VGA and 286 Xenix: I tried to 
run SCO Xenix 286 with my multisync monitor, but all it gave me were
garbage chaircters, and it was impossible to load. The version I'm running
is 2.2.3, and works fine in mono (which is fine for the time being...)
Thus, you might want to steer clear of the Paradise if you're gunna run
this version. Rumor has it that they've fixed the bug in later verisons
but don't quote me on that.....
