The 800x600x256 drivers require 1024K of memory.  They will not work on 512K
cards.	The original poster wants drivers which will use the 800x600x256 mode
of the 512K cards, which these drivers will not do.  They use some kind of
extra buffering with video memory, and do not leave enough left over for
256 colors in 800x600 mode.
