That only words for clone EGA cards that have CGA emulation.  Half of them
don't.  For other cards, the tty driver should be modified to include the
software scrolling that has been posted several times.

I also appreciate the effort, but I can't get it to work at all on a Z-248
with the Paradise Hi Res card and a monochrome monitor.  Most of the lines
are blank, sort of at random, I think.  I would like to see postings from other
people to see what their experience is with the new driver, especially for
monochrome cards and Hercules cards.  Suggestions for driver fixes are welcome.
