[comp.windows.ms] 800x600 256c VRAM driver!!!

cadp01@vaxa.strath.ac.uk (06/13/91)

There has been talk recently about Headland not releasing a 256 colour
800x600 Windows driver for the VRAM card.

Well, GOOD NEWS!
I picked up a file called v7800600.zip (or something similar) from
the drivers/video directory on cica. And it actually works, I now have
800x600 in 256 colours under Windows. No documentation with this driver,
but looking through it reveils two lines of text:

'Copyright Headland Tech...' and '640x480 8 bits'. 

So it looks like a copy of something that was never released (why not?)
but somehow made it out into the big bad world...

I'm not complaining... ;-)
