I have an OEM paradise card with 512k.  Over the weekend, I tried the 1024 
driver from cica.cica.indiana.edu, fully expecting failure on my Mutlsync II.
I was very surprised when windows came up in the high resolution, and everything
worked great.  I even brought up a 50 line DOS window, and it was okay...
Until I heard a pop, a fizz, and see a flash and smoke from my vga card.
Further examination shows that a capacitor was fried, taking out a few other
little things along the way....  Has anyone heard of this problem?  or
is it just my card.......
