    That is current for the 386, not the 286. SCO doesn't seem to support
anything past 2.3.2 for the 286.

	xnx155 is also only for the 386, so no go here either.

	I'm using 2.3.2 for the 286, and it has a vga driver, but I don't know
if it works or not.

	286 users are S.O.L. if something doesn't work in 2.3.2. so check if
what you need works at all, otherwise your just wasting time and money.
