Hi, Steven! I'm pleased to report networking now *OK* using module
3c509.o ; was able to browse the internet in text mode w/ "links".

Re. video graphics : following up to your questions, the Baslin boot
process starts and ends up in the basic 16 colour text mode, 25 lines
x 80 columns (BIOS mode 03, I guess).

Here's handcopied! report from : Xvesa -listmodes

Note: I'm currently using the 1024x768x16 colour mode under Windows,
probably = VESA mode 0x106. Non planar modes (256 colours or more)
don't work correctly, I believe the card (DAC?) is defective. Hence
under Linux also I would be able to have 1024x768, or 800x600, *16
colours*.

[Czerno's note : that is what the video BIOS says, but untrue : it's
a plain ISA board, not VLB]
DAC is switchable, controller is VGA compatible.
