[rescue] Vesa Local Bus video cards

[Kevin]

I paid like $350 for a 2meg VLB Diamond Viper, but that was
probably much later than you guys are referring to. 
Probably around August/September 1993. Still have that card
working in my 66.

Wasn't VLB faster in some tests than the first gen PCI stuff
was?
