I used it for only one task but it was worth the price anyway--I needed support for both VGA and monochrome on the same machine. As the years went by there were fewer and fewer monochrome cards and the cards became worse and worse at playing nice together. It eventually reached the point where we couldn't find any that would behave--I ended up stepping through the initialization code for the monochrome (which was in ROM, no breakpoints otherwise) and noting exactly what it told the card and reproducing that in my code. (By then 100% of my screen writing was in my code, the lack of that capability didn't matter.)
