ok second take. during install phases, M$ drives the screen as a 640x480
take-it-or-leave-it or is it even CGA 320x240?

this implies all cards have some level of activity which works and supplies
both bitmap and ASCII text services. 16 colours. flickery as hell. 

wouldn't it make sense to wire the plan9 install floppies to this instead
of any yeubeut higher-res, and do higher-res as a post-install?

cheers
