Yea - what I have in there now isn't even that new. Its pure PCI -
close to 20 years old or more. It was the only thing I had after I
swapped hardware around that would work... my "better" retired video

Before the upgrade, it worked, and managed a laughable 640x480.
After the upgrade, the TTYs are all garbled (probably wrong timing)

I'm sure I could fix it... but I just don't care to :)<br>

Which is just what I want on this computer. Every time I upgrade
it, I waste a day fixing what they broke :(<br>
