Me too! Anyone who understands the console driver (i don't - yet) have
any ideas? (Conveniently I have a second machine in my lounge room. Even
more conveniently it ALSO has a trident card which displays the same problem
when inserted into the 386bsd machine. Note that both cards use the Trident
T9000 rather than the Trident T8900.)
