I'm trying to get the generic Super VGA driver that was posted a while ago to
work on a friend's machine. He doesn't know the manufacturer of the graphics
board, but he does know that it uses a Tseng Labs chip set. The documentation
for the board is conspicuously absent. Could those users of Tseng Labs-based
graphics boards find out what mode number gives 800x600x16 graphics? A few
manufacturers that use Tseng Labs chips are Orchid, Genoa, Sota, and STB. If
you have one of these boards, it would be a great help if you could look up
the mode number.
Alternatively, is anyone aware of a Windows 3.0 driver specific to one of these
boards? Perhaps one of the above manufacturers runs a BBS from which we could
download it.
Thanks in advance,
Michael B. Williams

It is based on the Tseng chip set. It comes with 512K of memory and is able to give a 800*600 picture with 256 colors. I use it with on a 386/25 machine under Windows 3 in enhanced mode, using the SV800 driver which was posted here. I use the mode number 41 (dezimal). This fits to the bios mode number 29 (sedezimal), which stands for 800*600*16 graphics mode, in my documentation of the OPTIMA card. Wolfgang Strobl PS: I am still waiting for a 640*480*256 (or better: 800*600*256) driver for Windows 3 and this card. Does anybody know of such a driver and from where I could get it? >Alternatively, is anyone aware of a Windows 3.0 driver specific to one of these >boards?
