Actually, the driver has been on cica for around a week. It is not in
/pub/pc/win3/video, and is called "win30drv.zip". It contains, among
other things, the 640x400x256 and 800x600x256. It also has a "fast"
800x600x16 and a "fast" 1024x768x16. I have the fast 800x600x16
installed, and all that I can say is that it is not slower than the
older driver. Should have done some benchmarks before zapping the old
sytem, I guess.

QUESTION for the net:

my card's documentation does not say that it can do 800x600x256. I
don't know why, because it certainly will have enough memory if I put
in 512K on the card. So, my question is: has Paradise done something
to the driver to allow this to happen? If so I am upgrading my card
pronto. I'd be grateful for any info.
