I am in fact using one of these beasts with Win3 right now.  The folks
at Sigma Designs sent me the new driver as soon as I called them.  It
requires a somewhat non-standard installation procedure (read the
README.TXT file on the driver disk) and will only support
single-monitor systems :^(.  I've found most (all?) commercial
software large-screen tolerant, but some ill-designed software such as
Troglobyte's Click! filer don't size properly.  The version of the
Laser...er...L-View has only two shades of gray in addition to the
black and white, so some color icons lose out.  One thing that really
shines is Adobe Type Manager.  It's _GREAT_ in high-resolution.
