I have seen 512K VGA boards that can do 800x600x256. Yet, the Paradise VGA 1024 cannot? So, what is the deal here? Pray tell... Mark C. "Bro!" Lowe - KB5III

So, what is the deal here? None of the Paradise chipset based super VGAs support that mode... It is not for lack of memory, just lack of forsight on the part of the designers... -- +-----All Views Expressed Are My Own And Are Not Necessarily Shared By------+ +------------------------------My Employer----------------------------------+ + Ronald S.

Then why is it that paradise supplies a 800x600x256 Win3 driver (which does not work on my 512k 1024x768 card)? ... some board of theirs must support it ... anybody know which board it is? leoh@hdw.csd.harris.com Leo Hinds (305)973-5229 Gfx ... gfx ... :-) whfg orpnhfr V "ebg"grq zl fvtangher svyr lbh guvax V nz n creireg ?!!!!!!? ... znlor arkg gvzr

That is because the Paradise 1024 card and most all OEM cards use the WD90C00 display ASIC, while the first chip to support 800x600x256 is the WD90C11. -Douglas Pokorny (drp@buhub.bradley.edu)
