AT&T hw/sw with "foreign" video

I understand that SVR3.x comes in two versions -- one for SCSI-based
systems, and one for all other HD controllers.  But I wonder if it has
any particular video requirement.  I.e., instead of buying the
overpriced repackaged NEC monitor (is the 329D a NEC 2D?) and Paradise
card, could I use say a monochrome monitor/Hercules card, or an Orchid
Prodesigner II with 1MB RAM and a NEC 5D monitor?

I just got a price on a 25MHz 386 without video but with 4 MB RAM and
135 MB ESDI HD -- almost $5400!  I can buy a clone with a 30-60 day
money-back guarantee and a year of on-site service for half that!  <sigh>

Thanks,
Pete
