I just received my supposedly ATI VGA WONDER card to find that it was
one of those ATI VGA 1024 cards with only 256K on it.  I talso came
with four HD disks full of drivers and some even for W 3.0

Problem:  nothing but the invocation of Windows 3.0 in regular VGA mode
(640x400x256 or 640x480x16) works worth a damn.  The card is getting so
hopelessly confused it is comical.  I tried out the new Fractint
program just to see what's what and in any high resolution mode the
screen flickers and jumps as if I had live cell automata dancing
around.

I am going to put another 256K on this machine -- all the doc says is
that I need to put in some 41256 chips from particular mfg.

Does anyone know if ATI has fixed their drivers for 640x480x256 or
800x600x256 or even 1024x768x16 (256)????
