He could also go with the Athena card instead. That does have VGA on it.
And it's a faster processor.

Well, it doesn't come with a video card if that is what you meant,
however, that is a relatively simple matter to fix. PC104 video cards
are quite reasonably priced & even support 1/2 or 1/4 VGA standards.

Looking closer at it the biggest shortcoming I see now is the lack of ram
the card only handles 32mb and Linux is very memory intensive and running
only a 486dx-100 mhz chip with that kind minimal memory it will be
relatively slow. Do you really want to watch a video screen at 1/2 or 1/4
vga resolution? I think the card would be great for his data acquisition
card and use the via card for the processor. at least he'd be using the
same operating system and compilers for both. Less to learn and get
confused with, I get very confused!
