I have a ZEOS 486 EISA tower at home running OS/2.  I'm looking for a good
video card to upgrade my flaky Diamond Speedstar.

(The thing throws ASCII bits all over the screen when I open a DOS or OS/2
window and move the mouse back into the WPS.  It had similar bad behavior
under DOS, specifically while installing PCTools 7.1 -- I could hardly read
the screen by the end of the install.  Thought I had a virus or Central
Point was putting out bugs to combat bugs.)

I would like some suggestions on a fast, solid, video card that has good
OS/2 drivers.  Any thoughts?  I don't have a local bus slot.

My ideal would be coprocessed EISA, equal to or better than XGA-2, with lots
of VRAM.  I probably couldn't afford it even if someone made the beast.
But, I could be tempted...

If replies warrant *and* I can figure out how, I will summarize for the
'Net.  I am *not* a UNIX wizard.
