Just to eliminate any confusion, the same drivers should work on the VRAM VGA, 1024i, Fastwrite, and OEM VGA-16's (assuming the card supports the resolution in question, of course). Now, the VEGA VGA is another story. The initial release of the drivers did *not* support the VEGA VGA. The new release (in the beta area of the BBS) was supposed to support it, but we've had bug reports, so we do not recommend it. However, the next release of drivers should have this VEGA VGA problem fixed. (Incidentally, it'll also include a Windows app to set up the drivers, so you won't have to RTFM to get it working, nor will you have to edit your system.ini manually.) -- Jim Seidman, Headland Technology, 46221 Landing Parkway, Fremont CA 94538 UUCP: ames!vsi1!headland!jls INTERNET: hsv3!jls@apple.com "Love your enemy, smite your enemy, you still need an enemy!" -Joseph, in "Heart of the World"
