Bad slip up on my part there! Yes your absolutely right, it was on my original
driver disk. I had converted the setup.inf supplied on the driver disk to work with
my 3-1/2 inch distributuion of windows and inadvertantly forgot to copy some of the
driver entries. I had someone local pick me up on this as well. I tried the
1024x768x16 driver, but my 800x600x256 EARTH.BMP file (nice 256 colour globe)
looked disgusting with only sixteen colours so I've gone back to 256 again.

While on the point it would be nice if Orchid supplied the drivers with two
setup.inf files, one for 5-1/4 and one for 3-1/2.

Sorry to have spread disinformation around the network, I HATE it when I see so many
half-truths being spread around, and now I'm guilty as well!
