Larry:

We have about 12 machines with the Image Adapter/A and 8508 Landscape
monitor.  The adapter came with drivers for Windows/286, OS/2 1.2, and DOS.
Has a driver been written for Windows 3.0 yet?  I realize that IBM really
dosen't have any motivation to write it, since IBM is pushing OS/2, but
I'd really like to see Windows 3.0 in 1600x1200 resolution on a 19"
display.  If you can give me any information, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks!

Chris

I don't know to be honest.  Display drivers are something I know nothing
about.  :(

My suggestion would be to contact your friendly IBM SE, and tell him to
issue the following command from VM, then put the stuff on diskettes
following the directions he will receive:  "REQUEST IBMIA102 FROM IAATOOLS
AT YMTVM6".  You will end up with 2 diskettes.  One will have OS/2 code, the
other Windows V3 and V2.
