All very nice, but if you want (or have to ) run Microsoft C 6.0, the video
mode does not come up correctly some of the time when you reboot. 

Also, OS/2 1.3 and 2.0 cannot deal with the 449: the screen immediately becomes
unreadable when booting.

ie: The card is so incompatible with the VGA standard, I cannot recommend that
anyone use it if they have a choice.
