Here are the results of that research: Manufacturer's FAQ extract (http://www.colorgraphic.co.uk/voyagerfaq.htm): "Which notebook PCs will the Voyager work in? Because the original Voyager card dates back to pre-Pentium notebook days, there is a problem using the card in a notebook or laptop PC which uses an internal PCI bus. As a general rule, if your notebook runs a Pentium processor then it will not work with the Voyager card. There is no fix for this problem." "What drivers are available for the Voyager? The current list of drivers for the Voyager is as follows: Windows CE 2.0 Windows 3.x Windows 95 All of these drivers can be downloaded from the software drivers page." Trying to get further info, I sent them the following mail: Dear Sirs I've recently been informed of the existence of your Voyager VGA card. In your homepage, you mention that it enables an output resolutions of 640x480 and 800x600 at 256 colours. You also mention, in your FAQ, that notebooks that run a Pentium processor are not compatible with the card. This brings me to my question: have you any information regarding the compatibility with a Compaq Contura Aero 4/33c, with a 486 SX SL enhanced Intel Processor, a 16 bit ISA bus and a Type II PCMCIA slot? If so, could you provide me with an estimated price?

[C] From: donson@sprynet.com Date: Sat, 15 Mar 1997 11:08:36 -0800 Subject: Voyager VGA Has anyone got information about how the following PCMCIA Card works with the Aero? Voyager VGA, manufactured by Colorgraphics. It's supposed to give you 1024x768x16 or 640x480x256 resolution on an external monitor. This might be a way to overcome the "most serious limitation" of the Aero.
