I then downloaded from their BBS Windows 3.0 Drivers for four different resolution types. The file contained 640x480x256, 800x600x16, 800x600x256 and 1024x768x256 drivers. I added both 800x600x256 and 1024x768x256 to my system.ini file (my board, with 1Meg of memory, does both of these). I then tried both of them. In 800x600x256, everything works great. In 1024x768x256, there are some very thin lines at the top of my NEC 4D monitor. I called Sigma and they said that this was caused by a bad batch of Tseng chips. They are sending me a new board. But based on this information, I would think that it Orchid not Tseng that is draging their feet. Clancy Malloy
