I have a old northgate, I don't know the exact model but I do know that the computer BIOS version was made in 9/11/93.
The video card is some kind of Peradise video card (date printed on card is 1988).
The problem is, that Windows 98 installes a driver called "Western Digital". And I can't use any color setting above 16 colors. (it will restart and still be in 16 color mode, and say something about the selected settings not working with the card)
I have tried all alternative drivers that were included with Windows 98 and still get the problem.
To help identify card, the follwoing number is printed on a removable microchip:
62-003092-061
It is a Pegasise from 1988. (it has about 512K of memory)

Painstakingly revealed (in this double post) that the card in question only has ¼Mb of video RAM and is therefore incapable of displaying anything remotely resembling high resolution graphics.
In other words: "was this trip really necessary?"
... uh, no, it was not.
Saying that XP is the most stable MS OS is like saying that asparagus is the most articulate vegetable
