I have a similar SuperVGA board, it has a Western Digital chipset and behaves
almost exactly like a Paradise 1024i (The windows 3.0 drivers for the latter
work on the card without trouble.)  The RAM upgrade to 512k required a jumper
to be changed to tell the card that the additional memory was available.  The
manual said this in one section, but claimed that it auto-detected it in a
different section.  If this is the same card under a different label (mine
is a "Candor") the manual may be flawed in the same way.  Unfortunately,
my card (and the manual) are both at home, so I can't tell you the specifics.

MS-Windows 3.0 runs just fine in '386 extended mode on a '386sx box.  If it
didn't, there would be MAJOR problems with the '386sx chip, which is supposed
to be completely software compatible.

I hope this helps...
