Okay, so I copied the Paradise drivers for Windows 3.0 from this BBS,
and I can't get them to work.  I tried installing the 640x480x256 and the
1024x768x16 drivers separately and either one gives me just a black
screen when I start up windows.  Anybody seen this problem before?
I have a 386 25MHz w/ 4MB, and the Main chip on my video board starts
with WDC'89, so I assume it really is a paradise chip like I was told.
Help.
