Has anyone had this problem with and Orchid Pro II ?  I've got one
and it doesn't work in any of the nice high res modes (800x600 +).
The only thing I can think of is that it somehow conflicts with
my Adaptec 1542, which I currently can't boot without...
I've got enough memory, a monitor that works at 1024x768x256
noninterlaced and I've removed all other adapters from the bus.
None of the "compatibility" switches or junpers on the Orchid helps.

I'm wondering if the Adaptec memory conflicts with the frame buffer
memory address or something like that.

Thanks in advance.
Mark
