It's too bad for Ati.  Their card is great for dos, and it does include
a mouse!  Their problems with Unix (no colour at installation time,
apparant bad fonts, can't convince vp/ix that mono ega *is* a reality
on a ttl monitor) will only keep Ati out of the unix market.

So, who's got the best deal in ET4000 chip sets around?

(Invariably their response has been: it should work...
	you can send it in ...  *sigh*)
