Some days ago I got a PM VGA driver for 800x600 from a List server.
It is for OS/2 1.1. 

I did not expect it to work with OS/2 1.2 (IBM) - but it does. It works
perfectly with my Paradise VGA under IBM OS/2 1.2, except that all the
color-icons are painted in black&white. But everything other works,
even the 3D-buttons. I ran the PC Magazine benchmark and all tests
worked.

The driver came with an VERY short readme file which contained also the
following two lines:

>>   This and other drivers can be obtained from Paradise BBS
>>   USA 415-968-1834

Now, the question(s):
- Did anyone else try this driver?
- Does anyone know this BBS system and if they also have a driver for
  OS/2 1.2?

If you are now interested and take a look at this BBS, please tell me
the results (or post in this newsgroup).

I cannot use this BBS, because the lines are much too noisy from Germany
to the U.S. and, more important, very expensive.

If someone finds a 800x600 driver for 1.2, it would be nice to see it in
comp.binaries.os2 ....
