I have a Z-386/20.  My monitor is a ZCM-1492.  My video board is a
Z-549 with 512K on the video card.  I recently upgraded to Windows
3.1.  

Question:  Can I run Windows3.1 in 640x480x256 colors? 

I've tried everything I can think of, but I always end up with 16 lousy
colors.  I got ET3000.ZIP from cica.cica, but that doesn't work.  I get
lots of pretty vertical lines, and no recognizable Windows.  Is the 
Z-549 limited to 16 colors in Windows?  I can display .GIF pictures
in 640x480x256 so I know it works.

I upgraded Windows through Microsoft, not Zenith.  Can I contact Zenith
Tech Support for an updated driver?  Does such a beast exist?  Are you 
tired of my questions yet?  :-) 

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.  You can post or e-mail.

Thanks, 

Kevin
