It's a very nice card.  I'd go for it if you have a 386 or better.  It
uses the Tseng 4000 chipset.  It comes with drivers for Windows 3.0,
WordPerfect, 1-2-3 and other things, but the generic ET4000 drivers
floating around are newer and better than what Boca supplies.

USD145 is a good price.  An international customer is probably smarter
to go with a major mail order retailer like PC CONNECTION than to try
and shave five bucks off at Yarmulke Electronics.
