I finally got my hands on the official Trident SVGA drivers.  I had trouble
installing them because windows was trying to put ega.sys into my config.sys
file.  I discovered later that ega.sys is not on my drive anywhere.  So, I
put in display.sys ega and got it to work.  (Before I had display.sys in
the config I got all kinds of Unrecoverable Application Errors.  Display.sys
replaced ega.sys in DOS 4.)

So, I finally got it installed.  I'm fairly disappointed.  I loaded up 
WinQVT and made a connection.  That's when I noticed that my screen output
was MUCH slower.  Intolerably slow when I'm used to 2400 baud in
fast text mode.  So, I un-installed the Trident VGA driver and went back
to regular VGA.  Bummer.

Mike
