In response to my own article, let me point out that SCO has been
working hard on this problem.  Since having posted the above article
and having called my salesperson to say we felt misled, we have 
gotten a call every day on the phone concerning getting this missing
driver.  To make a long, drawn-out story short, let me summarize
and say that we will be testing the CGI using the EGA board in 
inferior CGA mode, and following beta testing by SCO, we will be
looking to get the complete product from SCO in the middle of
November.
