I am considering to upgrade my vga card to some Super VGA (I am TIRED to search the right window from overlapping windows). However, I have noticed that many manufactures don't have any support for PM. So, can anybody give me I list of Super VGA cards (800X600 or 1024X768) that do have PM -drivers (for OS/2 1.2/1.3). Thanks in advance. --- Timo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Timo Posio ventor@tolsun.oulu.fi University of Oulu earn/bitnet: tkop-tep@finou.oulu.fi ------------------------------------------------------------------------

I know that Video Seven has PM Drivers for their boards, and that at least the 1024i's driver works great with OS/2 1.3 in 1024x768. I have heard that Paradise finally released a 1.2 pm driver that will drive their card in 800x600. (1.2 drivers seem to work with 1.3. I know there are problems with 1.1 drivers working under 1.2.) -- | wbonner@yoda.eecs.wsu.edu | | 27313853@wsuvm1.csc.wsu.edu | | 72561.3135@CompuServe.com |

Or does one have to contact the companies themself. I have a super VGA card that is not brand-name (it has a TSENG BIOS), but quite a number of the drivers for other cards seem to work with it (I use a driver for another card to get 800x600 with 256 colors in Windows. I would like to have the same resolution, color capability in OS/2. Would someone also please post/mail the address of the OS/2 archive site that the moderator of os2.binaries runs? (I know his name is tom and he's located somewhere in Canada, I think) I lost the address, sorry... Mike Kretzer tanith@csd4.csd.uwm.edu kretzer@miller.cs.uwm.edu
