Yes, the 040 card will work great. It works fine on my IIvx with internal
video or using a NuBus video card. The difference is, the IIvx internal video
is mapped physical=logical. On the IIsi/IIci the video memory is mapped in
a rather strange manner.

However, while the IIvx will boot with the 040 card in it, ite fails to
match.

What this suggests to me is that there is something wrong with our physical
to logical translation code. I'm willing to bet if that was fixed we could
probably even get the IIci's internal video to work with an 040 card.
That's just a hunch though.
