I later ran the tests in 8514 and Mach 8 modes, and got 10.2 and 16.4 million
winmarks, respectively. (1024x768x256)

Yes, it is quite clear and flicker-free, even with an all-white screen.  I'm
using the Gateway 2000 CrystalScan 1572 FS Monitor.  The setup program offered
2 settings for 72hz refresh, one of them produced a shrunken image.  When I
used the '>' and ']' keys to blow up the image, the refresh rate stepped up to
95hz.

Well, I really don't know, because I have no experience with EISA systems.  It
should probably come within a few million winmarks.

Oh well,....
