We have a 386 pc here in our lab with a professional graphics adapter(actually a compatible pga) thats used to run some specialized software. This card has a resolution of 640x480x256 colors (out ot 16 million). What other kinds of software will work with this adapter? How about microsoft windows, drawing programs, graphics terminal emulations, X windows, etc. ? Does IBM even sell the PGA anymore? John Kellow kellow@ndcheg.cheg.nd.edu

Does IBM even sell the PGA anymore? IBM does not sell the PGA anymore. There ought to be drivers for AutoCAD, CADKEY, and other such CAD packages about. I believe Grafpoint had a driver for their TGRAF package that talked to PGA. If you dig about you'd probably dig up with quite a few. As for MS-Windows and X, I don't think board could properly support either of the two reasonably. Disclaimer: I have worked on drivers for Matrox's PGA compatible boards. ...rob
