Windows 3.0 drivers for Everex Viewpoint 678 VGA boards are available
from the Everex Technical support BBS:  (415) 438-4650.

That's the good news.  The bad news is that the 640x480x256 driver
crashes our Everex Step 386 box.  The 512x480x256 driver seems to
work, albeit with a bug: the SetDIBitstoDevice function doesn't
seem to be supported properly.  Bitmaps displayed with this function
by the 512x480x256 driver turn out upside-down.

It's possible that the reason I couldn't get the 640x480x256 driver
to work was because I had a corrupted version.  (Everex tech support
swears that it works)  I would appreciate it if someone who gets this
driver working would contact me.  I NEED 256 colors, and 512x480 is
ridicuously low resolution.
