I had an XGA board in my machine to try for a while. It came with drivers for some software AND Windows 3. Afraid I can't tell you what the other drivers are, I was interested in Windows. I can tell you for sure that it ISN'T WordPerfect, and I can also tell you that WordPerfect didn't like it as a VGA adapter. (5.1) It is pretty nice and pretty quick in Windows. The monitor was quite nice also. We had it sitting beside a Mac qith a RasterOps 24 bit board and the colour was very different from the Mac and EVERYBODY chose the colour of the IBM display over the Mac. Now this isn't a very scientific nor quantitative eval, the Mac screen is old etc. etc. On the Mac screen we had a picture of my kid (cutest kid on earth!) in 24 bit mode and Photoshop dithered 256 colour mode (adapter in 24 bit mode) and on the PC we were using the Windows 256 colour driver with the same photoshop dithered mac file (as GIF) using wingif. All three were visible at once. IBM won. Alas, the adapter is gone now... back to 16 colour VGA. tj
