[9fans] Trident 8900

[Lee Cox]

Hi all,
I have just been trying to install plan 9 on a old 486 for the first time.
it seems my fantastic ISA trident 8900 can't be found !

I understand i need to add an entry to /lib/vgadb ?
I enclose the contents of vgainfo.txt (if this helps?)

Any help would be useful.

Lee
