Its dos compatible why not plus it didn't cost you anything, even junk like this will be at a premium someday.

I have this card. I don't use it because 1) it doesn't have VESA 2.0 support natively, 2) it doesn't have a vendor supplied VBE 2.0 driver, and 3) UNIVBE is a pig on conventional memory.

For older stuff, it should be fantastic.

It's not total crap, unlike some of those WD and Realtek ISA decelerators.
