I too have the same problem. I contacted Video 7 and they sent the new
1.05 rom chips for the VGA card. While it will support 800×600, I only get
8 colors rather than 16. I am very disappointed, as the AUI drivers for
the Vega Deluxe for 2.52 and 2.62 worked very well. I currently have 5
Vega Deluxe and 5 Vega VGA. I purchase the VGA boards because of the
superior way in which Video 7 supported the Vega Deluxe board with rom
upgrades, AUI drivers and finally a software patch to allow VGA emulation.
I currently run all of the Video 7 boards using VGA.
Calls to tech support at Video 7 have resulted in little help on any
encouragement that they will produce a 16 color ADI 3.1 driver. I am
currently out to bid on four more 386's and will be changing video boards to
a different brand. Sorry Video 7, but to little, to late.
