Unfortunately, you might have problems with the E-machines card.  In
fact, you probably will.  If the VBL interrupts can be disabled before
boot, this would probably not be a problem--or if we can fix the
NuBus/video driver to be able to call the proper interrupt service
routine.

I suggest the Asante.  I'm running two Asante cards in puma (a IIcx) at
the moment:
