Tiago,

There are a number of problems in what you write. Namely:
1) If you are willing to buy a PCI video card with a BIOS from 1995 that is
version 1.0x,
	what else are you willing to pay for?  I have 5 PC XT 8086 desktops from
1980
	that, if properly daisy-chained, make an excellent 586-class PC.
2) I recommend that by carefully positioning the problem video/controller
card between
	your right index finger and thumb, and gently inserting it under your left
foot
	then shifting your body weight to 	the left, applying great pressure on
the PCI
	card underfoot, will *actually* shift the mis-aligned data bits within the
card
	to their proper original sequence.
3) If that fails, get a pizza delivered.
4) MOST IMPORTANT:  Be sure to tip the driver.
