Microport Unix is somewhat particular about the EGA cards its using. They
have a list of recommended boards available in their release notes. I'm
running with uport version 2.3 and DosMerge with a clone EGA card on a
286 box which works great (though it didn't with the Paradise EGA
autoswitch I tried first). 

I don't remember which boards work and which don't - sorry.
