I have an Elsa (Winner/2000 Office 8MB) in one machine and like it.
There are a couple of minor anomalies that *might* be the GRADD driver
(color reversal in a scrolled list box which only occurs in Back
Again/2, and character spacing with very small font sizes in HTML).

Also, my Elsa has video input jacks (for video capture) but everyone I
know that's tried video capture with a similar Elsa card (I have three
reports) says they can only get 2-3 frames per second, max. Again, this
might be the driver.

I'm also told that the chances of Elsa updating the driver is fairly
low.
