[comp.sys.zenith] Need driver, will pay

The 3rd paragraph will explain why I'm posting this here.  I have checked
with Microsoft, Zenith, and cica, the Zenith newsgroup, and FAQ, so I believe
that I've done my homework.

I need a driver for Zenith's oddball 640x480 "vga-type" mode (256K, card may
be called a z449). It uses the Chips & Tech chipset 82C434. The windows
driver for the 82C441 (and several on cica) almost work, but the screen gets
garbled (the title screen is ok, all screens are readable, maybe because 
only 256K?). Windows 2 from
Zenith included a special driver, but Zenith did not update to Win 3
(according to Zenith tech support).  I've seen other questions on the news
about this driver, and I've sent some requests, but no help.

Obviously, I would be foolish to spend too much time/money on this since VGA
cards are relatively cheap. Here's my offer: If it is a trivial matter to
compile the driver in the developer's kit for my card, I'll gladly pay $30
for a working driver. I extend this offer to anyone who can direct me to an
existing driver.
