Try hDC Windows Color for Windows/286 and /386 v2.1.  It will give
anyone 16 colors with an EGA (640x350) or VGA (640x480).  Note that
Windows/386 does not come with a 480-line driver for VGA.  It is 450
lines so that DOS apps can be displayed in a window.  If you don't
care about running DOS apps in a window (they can always be displayed
full-screen), hDC Windows Color comes with a 16-color, 480-line VGA 
driver for Windows/386.  It also comes with a nice palette-setting 
utility.  It is available from any Egghead in about a week.
