Greetings from wet and miserable southern California!

I'm thinking of adding VGA to my 286 computer at the lab so
I can view my satellite images. Although I use 800x600x256
at home on a NEC 3D, I don't need the colors to look at the
images in greyscale (and the savings of a few hundred $$$
will help offset rising tuition!) so I'm thinking of buying
the NEC GS 2A greyscale sVGA monitor. I would like to find a
reasonably priced sVGA card, preferably based on the Tsend
(oops Tseng) ET-4000 chip, to drive the monitor. Anyone
have an opinion on the suitability of Boca's super VGA or
the STB PowerGraph or a recommendation? I want the ability
to upgrade to 1024x768x256 in the future. Thanks in advance!
