I just tried my recently bought Workstation card out again (wouldn't 
connect to Mac OS 9 and X machines, so I tried it on my "new" 7.5 
machine and it worked) - it's working in 80 column mode for me. From 
what I found out when I was thinking of buying it/trying to get the 
software the card _only_ works in the enhanced //e.

Hope that's of use
