I'm totally confused by this paragraph. Perhaps a bit of perspective is
needed, here.
The ZVG connects to your PC's parallel port. It will require that your
parallel port be doing DMA if you want a consistent image. I'm sure you
can bit bang the parallel port (or is that byte bang) and fake DMA
transactions, but without a steady stream you'll have drops in your vector
displayed image.
So it has nothing to do with the video card you're using. DOS Works fine
ala VESA in a bunch of different modes, and your regular VGA video card
will coexist just fine with the ZVG.
We just don't plan on doing Windows drivers for it. However, the source
will be available and you can feel free to write one. We are contemplating
doing a FreeBSD driver for it...
