Since you only have the 256K version of the Paradise card, the largest
screen you can do is 640x400x256.  I don't know when this driver will
come out.
I have never been able to get the 640x480x256 driver to work on a 256K card.
Not even when there was several extra megabytes of memory available to
windows.
