Awhile back a "pre-alpha" version of the PC classic "DOOM" was
unearthed (dated Feb 28, 1993), and it claims to support a "high

"Use High-color DAC (160 x200, but great color!)
(Only newer VGA cards have this-if it looks OK, ya got it)
(This may--okay, will--REALLY screw up the playscreen's
graphics. Just look at the neat colors and don't worry.)"
Do you have a link to this version?

It can be found here:

Interestingly, the Wiki has a link to an article discussing the "Sierra
Hi-Color DAC" I didn't notice last time I visited. It's from the early
90s, and references the ET4000 specifically, I'll have to track one down
and see if it works. I used to have scads of these things but I've
parted with a lot of my old PC gear...
