Further details:

The machine is a Compaq 386/20 with Cyrix 386-486 chip.

I've  had a Western Digital 1MB ISA card work fine in  the  system 
before, but now find that if I try either a Tseng Labs ET 4000 or 
a  Trident  1MB  or  Trident  512K,  even  MSD  senses  these  as 
Monochrome  cards. Compaq SETUP also identifies the card  as  Non 
Compaq,  and  monochrome  display so it looks like  it's  a  BIOS 
problem. The initial display for the Trident is usually in colour 
in part - here it's greyscale. 

It's  not the monitor, as during Windows 95 startup, the  initial 
screen  is the standard blue etc one, but once it gets  into  the 
desktop it's all greyscale.

I've  removed  all  cards from the system  other  than  the  ESDI 
controller.

If  anyone  has a 1MB ISA Western Digital Card  that  they  don't 
want,  or one they'd swap for a Tseng or Trident, please  let  me 
know.  I need 256 colours on this machine and the only card  that 
gives colour at present is a standard 256K VGA card,
