Powergraph VGA         Has a driver to support 1024 x 768 with 256
                       colors; this card needs at least 1 MB of

                       runs in standard mode unless BIOS is 1.33

640 VGA and VGA 80/16  May require a BIOS upgrade from STB if the

If you use these cards while running in 386 enhanced mode of Windows operating system version 3.1, and you are experiencing erratic mouse behavior after exiting from the MS-DOS Prompt, you may need to update your STB Systems video drivers. Video driver incompatibility may also terminate Windows and return you to the MS-DOS command prompt.
