Hi, Mario: I have a TSeng ET4000 card also. I used one as a temporary replacement when a video card failed in a workstation. As found in service (FiveStar 80386sx16 workstations) they had only 256 kilobytes of memory. Since we had already replaced several of those old workstations with newer systems, I removed 256 from each of 3 other cards creating a single ET4000 with 1 megabyte of RAM. http://gelm.net/images/et4000.jpg Does your ET4000 have 8 RAM sockets with only 2 populated? If yes, you may not have enough memory for more than 640x400 by 16 colors.
