For what it's worth, I'm running an ATI 8514 Ultra alongside a Paradise VGA
Pro and this combo works great for both VPIX and X/Motif.  In fact, the
8514 Ultra has some of the slickest setup software I've seen anywhere, making
the whole thing relatively painless.

Note that this is *not* the version of the Ultra that has VGA and mouse
port also included on the same card; I believe that one is called the
Ultra Plus (or +).  If anyone has used that card with ISC 2.2, I'd be
interested in knowing about it.
