Not necessarily thinking top of the line. Also I might have to go for ISA at first, if having trouble finding good VLB cards.
I know that in general it's better to stay off Trident/WD/OAK/Realtek with video. Goldstar doesn't sounds quite right for a controller as well (and I'm starting to develop an allergy for UMC).
What comes to mind:
VLB/ISA VGA:
TSENG
ATI Mach
Cirrus Logic
S3
How much video memory do I need for DX33/66? Will one meg be enough (DOS, Win3.1 with 1024*768 at most, likely 800*600)? I have an MMX to do the heavy lifting when it's absolutely required.
Multi controller:
probably something Winbond based, as long and with as many components on it as I can find.
I'm curious if VLB makes much difference for the I/O speed, though I'll strive to get one regardless.
I'll be grateful if you can list the cards you have in your machines (or had some experience with) and how it's working out for you. Feel welcome to add, suggest or critique anything.
