The last time I tried the Trident 8514/A emulator I got off the Trident BBS,
it didn't work.  The Trident VESA TSR seems to work fine however.

You need to get a graphics driver (such as BGI) that supports VESA.  I don't 
know if a BGI version exists or not.  There are BGI SVGA drivers for various 
cards available at various ftp sites (I don't have ftp access and don't 
keep track of those sort of details), but I don't know if Trident is 
supported.

You could also buy another graphics library that support Borland C/C++ and
VESA.  For example, both Metagraphics and FlashTek, Inc. have such 
libraries.  FlashTek, Inc. also has a BGI interface available to make the
porting of BGI applications easier.

I work for FlashTek, Inc.
