Alan:

Try running a diagnostic program (providing you have a
monitor -- like an EGA or a multisync -- which will work
with both cards).  MS Diagnostics or SYSCHK should
return the Video BIOS information.

You can get MS Diagnostics from your Win95 CD in
the  D:\OTHER\MSD  subdirectory.  SYSCHK is available
as shareware at:
