I dunno about the GVP or 3000. since I havn't the time to rewrite any drivers, I would ask if there is someone out there who has done this. maybe this *is* done by commodore for its driver in the A3000, maybe GVP? are here some peoples from GVP, wich can say something to this? >---------------------------------------------------------------------------- >[- O] Rick Stevens > ?
