You still don't say what type of bus your machine has so I can't nominate
specific cards.

Diamond are OK. The hardwares good. The dos and Win 16 drivers are OK.

Support for other OSs was very flakey when I had one. Tech support was
also very naff.

If you are spending that much, I'd take a good look at Matrox and the
Millennium card in particular. Good support for OS/2, NT dos and Win16,
third part linux driver suport and I've never needed to call tech supoprt
but I hear it's a lot better than diamond.
