Reading this post... I have questions.

I have the 113-19509-100 card. Only has 1MB. I'd like to upgrade the VRAM. But no idea what to order.
Does anyone have part number for the correct VRAM to find on eBay or other?

Thnx

113-19509-100 is EXM195A (check white text silkscreened on the card), which uses VRAM.
Usually in the shape of 28-pin ZIP memory like the Toshiba TC524258BZ-80. Look at your empty memory slots to confirm they are the zig zag inline package type.

Zigzag inline, Yes.

If I search on eBay for the Toshiba TC524258BZ-80, that is what I should buy? I would need 8 of them?

Yeah, that's it. 8 is what you need. Me I'd probably get 10 just in case there's a busted one or two, or you accidentally harm a pin - they're not the most robust packages out there.

So the RAM (TC524258BZ-80) and RAMDAC (TLC34076-170FN) arrived.
I installed everything, Pin-1 for the RAM threw me, but then I realized and matched up.
When I booted, Everything was B&W. I re-read this post and pulled my ATI RAMDAC (the smaller one).
Now I have colour again.

2MB is nicer, Win3.11 allows me to increase colours to 65K from 256.

I am pleased with the results.

Awesome. And don't forget to use the DOS tool to set & save your refresh rates and screen adjustments for each resolution. In the days before monitors could save your settings, this was a godsend because I no longer had to start tweaking the rheostats on my KFC 14" SVGA every time I switched between text and VGA.
