Has anyone who is using the 800x600 driver for Microsoft windows/286
v2.1 that is supplied by Paradise with the VGAPlus card had any problems?
Specifically, at various points while using Write, the computer will:
1. Show a windows message box saying "Divide by Zero" and
and lock up,
2. Show a windows message box saying "cannot read from device
AUX" and lock up, or
3. Simply lock up.
This never happened when I was running Windows with CGA, only after I
bought a VGA. Please email if you've had similar problems and/or
solutions. Thanks

Thanks There are four of us here at Hewlett Packard that have been using the Paradise VGA+ card in an 8Mhz 286 with MS Windows 2.1 in 800x600 mode for about a year with none of the errors you mentioned. I recently relaced my 8Mhz crystal with a 10Mhz crystal and things are still working great. I know this doesn't help you solve your problem except to say that it can be done.
