They have 16 and 256 color drivers for 640x480, 800x600, and 1024x768 for Win3. They also have a 'large font' 1024x768 driver (uses the 8514 font) that makes 1024x768 usable. Two things to be aware of before you download the drivers: 1. The 800x600x256 driver only works with boards w/1MB of memory. 2. News on the BBS indicates they will have faster versions of the 256 color drivers available in March. Might be worth waiting if it's long distance. (No connection with Trident other than being a satisified customer.) Wayne
