I would recommend avoiding ATI until they clear up their policy regarding drivers for OS/2. Right now, they supply 1.1 drivers, but I was told over the phone that they do not intend to provide 1.2 or 1.3 drivers (they *might* provide 2.xx drivers). Curiously, a fall (Oct or Nov, I forget which) ad in PC magazine boasted of drivers for Windows, etc. *and* Presentation Manager. I wrote a letter to ATI complaining about their policy of not spending the extra effort on 1.2 or 1.3, and will post my response to this letter (if I get a response). -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Douglas Baer, University of Western Ontario, London, Canada N6A 5C2 Internet: BAER@UWO.CA Bitnet: BAER@UWOVAX
