Sorry, but as far as I know, and after a recent check on the Paradise BBS,
they are not releasing a 640x400x256 color driver for Win/3.  It doesn't
look as it they are going to.

The only sort-of-good news is that I came across a note about converting
an HP VGA card (which I'm gambling that you're using) from 256k to 512k.

It basically entails getting some chips and doing some very precise soldering
and de-soldering.  

Mail me if you want the details.

(P.S. - Updating the card to 512k will allow the win/3 paradise drivers to
work in 640x480x256.)
