I'm looking for a driver for Windows3 with Paradise VGA (800x600) -
anyone know where I might get such an item?  Better still, could
somebody mail me a copy?

Thanks,

	The drivers for 640x480x256, 800x600x16 and 1024x768x16 are available
on the Western Digital BBS at 415-968-1834. I have downloaded them and found
that they work. There are rumors of 256 color versions of the higher res
drivers coming, but I have no details.

Does anyone know if Paradise will ever make a driver for 800x600x256
even though the card (Paradise 1024) itself doesn't support it?  Any
ideas why they decided not to support it even though it can have
enough memory to do so?
