We just installed Orchid's Fahrenheit 1280 superVGA accelerator card in
a Z386/25 to have faster times in Windows 3.1, and I'd like advice from
any war-torn users of same.  We have a Z1492 monitor, so the only switch
I changed from the default setting was SW1-2, since this beast won't do
much else than a vert scan of 60.  Some of the other jumpers posed questions
I wasn't sure about, like will your machine support add-in cards with zero
wait states (Zds machines usually do, as I recall) and one about ROM BIOS
shadowing being de-activated.  I left those alone.  Should I have changed the
settings?  After one day of install, we haven't had anything major happen
any differently, but I was curious about those two jumpers.  Thanks!

Oh, and it *is* faster.  PageMaker redraws are now almost a pleasure!
