The following drivers will be available by the end of June: ATI mode 54 - 800*600*16 colors, planar (VGA EDGE, VGAWONDER) ATI mode 55 - 1024*768*16 colors, planar (VGAWONDER512 V4 & V5). Please note that mode 55 is supported on V4 and later versions of the VGAWONDER (identifiable by the product name silk screened near the card edge connector and by the label printed on the BIOS EEPROMs) with 512Kb RAM installed. These initial drivers will be contained on a sindle low density disk with installation instructions (VDRIVER not required), the virtual display device driver and the OEMSETUP.INF file. This disk will be available at the end of July, and will be shipped free on request to VGA EDGE, VGAWONDER and OEM users. The VGAWONDER+ will include these drivers and an updated installation utility on the accompanying four disk set. The drivers will be available for downloading from the ATI bulletin board at (416)-756-4591 by June 20, and will also be posted on Compuserve (GO MSWIN, section 17). Drivers for other resolutions (800*600*256 colors, 1024*768 for VGAWONDER V3) and other products (VIP, EGAWONDER, EGAWONDER800 and EGAWONDER800+) will be announced when available. Users who wish to receive the Windows 3.0 driver disk only, may place an order by calling (416)-756-0718 ext. 550 and leaving their name and address on our voicemail system. The disk will be mailed beginning in July. If you do not have a touchtone phone you may download the drivers from our BBS or call Technical Support at (416)-756-0711. _________________ Please note that I do not work for ATI. I just received this letter, and since I did not see any other messages showing how to get the drivers from ATI, I decided to send the letter to the net. I tried to type the letter in verbatim, but I'm only human, so there may be some mistakes. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ !
