I also have a Paradise chipset card now, as it was the cheapest that I
could find when I bought it, but Paradise based cards have the severe
defect of not being able to support 800x600 mode with 256 colors... If
I remember correctly, the 2A is an 800x600 multisync, so I would
recommend a Trident 8900 (or even older 8800) or Tseng Labs 4000
chipset based card which also have Windows 3.0 drivers and are in the
same price range these days.
