Hi guys, so I finally got my 386 up and running, the only problem I have now is the vga drivers. Now, i have the original manual for this computer and it says it is capable of doing 256 colours in 640x480 and 800x600, aswell as 1024x768 in Windows 3.1. But I've searched everywhere and I just can't find drivers for this card. Here is a picture of the card.

By the way, if your card has only 256Kbytes of RAM you won't get even 640x480 in 256 colors .

EDIT : According to https://www.datasheets360.com/pdf/3459938771510968956 you have two KM44C256BP-8 256K x 4bit memory chips for a total of 256Kbytes of RAM.

Yeah only 256k. Standard drivers should work with that card anyway.

There's a glitch in the matrix.

Apparently 32-bit is dead and nobody likes P4s.
Of course, as always, I'm open to correction...😉

Oh ok, thats a pity, oh well thanks for your help.

You could always add RAM to get it up to 512KB. The sockets are there.

I'm sure a better card will come along. Once you start getting old x86 stuff all hell breaks lose. You can add vram to if you want though. My first x86 system hsad a similar video card.
