VGA under 2.2.3

[Mike Squires]

I am told that there is a disk from SCO for XENIX 386 2.2.3 that allows
the use of the Paradise VGA.  I have not been able to find a copy of that,
and SCO doesn't support 2.2.x any longer, apparently.  I did find that
one could boot 2.2.4 using the Tandy Paradise-based VGA card if you did
the following:

1.  Boot PC-DOS
2.  Run the VGA utility, setting the board to MDA and locking it in that
    mode
3.  Running the configuration utility to set the display to MDA.
4.  Boot XENIX - the system will complain that the monitor is not
    correctly set but XENIX didn't seem to care and the display worked.
    I would assume that it would be possible for something to reset the
    display card and for garbage to return.

I understand that XENIX GT with SCSI/ESDI support is now out; update R
updates 2.2.4 to 2.3.2 and costs $195.  That would be the way I'm going
for VGA support (I've already ordered).
