[comp.windows.ms] TIGA boards and Software Drivers; How compatible from brand to brand?

burgoyne@eng.umd.edu (John R. Burgoyne) (06/16/91)

	IS TIGA (Texas Instruments Graphic Adapter) a 
high level specification which is the same 
regardless of the manufacturer of the video board? 
The question comes up because I am contemplating 
purchasing one of the new TIGA boards, and I am 
wondering whether the software drivers which will 
be needed are compatible across the range of 
different manufacturers' products (as with say, 
IBM VGA), or whether they are all different. 
 
	Also, I heard that Microsft may be providing 
a generic TIGA driver with Windows 3.1. Can anyone 
comment affirmatively on this? 
 
	If someone would write a reply to this 
posting which includes a general description of 
their knowledge and experience with a TIGA board, 
I'm sure I wouldn't be the only person who would 
appreciate it. 
 
Thanks.
