[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] Vga card and Hd controller conflict

HI everyone,
	I recently bought a SVGA card using the Et4000 chip and it seemed to 
have problem to co-exist with my adaptec acb-2310 MFM controller
  The problem was that the SVGA card kept thinking that I had
a monochrome monitor. I could not get any color at all, even though i had a 
multiscan  super vga COLOR monitor.   I bought a new controller card and
now everthing works fine. 

Now I would like to get rid of my old card.  Before I sell it to anyone,
I would like to make sure that the controller is not defective but simply 
not compatible with my VGA card.   In other words, if another person who
does not have the same Vga card I have, he should be able to use it with out
any problem.      

Does anyone have the same or similar problem with the Adptec ?
I tried to play with the jumpers on the card, but did not help. 
The card worked fine with my old EGA car and my hard drive.  
I would like to find out what actually caused the problem before
selling(or giving) it to someone.
Thanks
