I have recently acquired (real cheap) and official IBM Professional graphics controller and display. I have heard that AutoCad has drivers for this display. Other than that the thing seems to run as a CGA emulator. Does anyone else out there have any experience with this animal? I'd like to know 1)What software makes use of it? 2) Is there any possibility of getting display drivers to go with this animal for things like MS-windows,lotus, Drafix, etc. Mike Loving

Very, very little else does. Virtually everything else DOES run on it! As a cga emulator, of course. Oh, you want the righ res mode? So sorry. It is one of those "high level programmed" things, not bitmapped, so there is nothing you can do about the excruciatingly slow speed. A vga clone card stuck in a regular 4.77 MHz PC, programmed in assembler, is faster.
