I've been searching for a 16-bit VGA card that supports at least 800x600x256. However, the ROM in my PS180-16F (not PS180-16FN) HD/FD controller insists on taking residence at C800 and my PS-160FN manual says that changing the address to D800 "may solve the problem with the VGA video adapters." Since I can't ask my HD/FD controller to change its mind, I'll (possibly) need the cooperation of the VGA card I'm going to buy. If you have any info about this, pleas send an e-mail message to me. I'll summarize. Thanks. Glenn glenn@cs.utexas.edu

Seems that's where all Western Digital controllers reside too...
Anyway, I doubt that you'll have too many problems, so why don't you
just buy from a place that allow returns.
