I just contacted Paradise Systems technical support, and spoke with a
very helpfull person for quite a while.  The answer is yes.  There WILL be
drivers for Windows 3 to take advantage of the 800x600 mode of all their
VGA boards which support this mode: VGA +, +16, Professional, 1024 card,
et al...  Unfortuantely, he told me, you can expect to wait more than a
month for these drivers to be available.  As for a rumor that the +16 card
has been discontinued, that answer is no -- it is still happily in
production.  If you are thinking of purchasing a VGA card from Paradise
Systems, I (and mister tech support) recommend the +16 card over the
Professional.  The Professional can handle (with a driver) 600x400 with
256 colors -- but,not too many people write for this mode (it'll work with
Windows, however).  Also, the Professional has an additional 256K, but
on a quick machine, the speed difference is not significant.  I suppose,
if you have the extra $60 or so,you could go with the Professional, but
the +16 is still an excellent SVGA card for the money.
