Yeah... I do remember that about X... the first time I got it working,
I did it on a 486 by hunting down a specific VLB card with one of the
Cirrus Logic chips on the list of supported hardware, then having to
go out and find more RAM for the video card because it was only
half-populated.
Some parts of the "good old days" I do not miss.
