Configuration:
   SCO Xenix 386 version 2.2.2
   300 meg disk
   5 meg RAM
   Digiboard COM/8i 8-port intelligent serial card

We would like to be able to use our current graphics card:
   Pepper Graphics PRO1280  (1024 x 1280 x 8)
   with Mitsubishi monitor  (1024 x 1280)

We would like to know if anyone has written graphics drivers for this card
and if so do they run under the above version of Xenix, and can we get a copy?

As well, we also have the SCO CGI graphics software package which came
free with the SCO Xenix package. Has anyone has heard of a
hi-res graphics board/driver combination which runs under SCO CGI.

Our real desire is to run X-Windows (X11 prefered, or X10).  From the
previous postings this does not seem possible with our present version
of SCO Xenix.  So the question is then if we get the new version of
Xenix when it is available, will X run with the above graphics card?

If not what should we get to make it all work, we would like to use the
same monitor?

Any comments and suggestions in this regard would be greatly appreciated.
Please respond by email, thanks.
