Jim was nice enough to send me the Brazil drivers for the mil2, which I
haven't had a chance to retrofit yet, unfortunately.  (As well, that
card is apparently not being manufactured anymore, so I don't know if
I'll be able to actually get one as planned.)

I guess the official philosophy is that 640x480 should work everywhere,
and that should be enough for you to run acme and write drivers for
whatever you do have. :-)

It's eight bit color, at whatever res you have enough ram (wired down
in the kernel, alas, for /dev/bitblt) to support.

That one works well, and is higher end than the others you mentioned.
