I've got one---works fine.  Since it's based on the Tseng4000 chip,
it's quite fast, although performance of any sVGA board suffers at
1024x768.  There's drivers for Windows 2/3/386, Word Perfect, AutoCAD,
GEM, Ventura Publisher, Lotus 123/Symphony, WordStar, and a few
utility programs.

I wouldn't know, as mine was bundled with my new machine (actually, I
got it as a booby prize when the company didn't ship the card I'd
spec'd; I don't mind since it's better than the one I paid for.)
