- RE: VPIC .CFG DRIVER for the Cirrus Logic chipset CARD.
- at 640x480 or 320x200 24bit mode resolution
- or 640x480 or 320x200 Hi-color 32K colors mode
- or 640x480 or 320x200 64000 colors .

- KEN LU>But I still can not get VPIC working at 24-bit mode.So far , the VPIC 5.x
- KEN LU>only supports Diamond SpeedStar 24X. and I have to wait for the next
- KEN LU>updated version ( I think ). But 256 color mode is working great at any resolution.
- KEN LU>Use VPIC 4.0 and the .cfg driver provided by your video card.

- Hi! Every Cirrus Owner,
-
- This is the Working Version of the .CFG for the VPIC viewer,
- Thanks to Rob LaMoreaux <R.Lamoreaux@mi04p.zds.com> who makes it possible.
-
- I, personally , had changed the Cirrus to ATI VGA WONDER XL24,
- And tell you the truth , ATI is VERY VERY VERY SLOW card at 24-bit mode.
- And NO VESA driver for the 24-bit color in DOS, yet SLOW in Windows 3.X.
- If you plan to switch your Cirrus card, make sure it is not ATI-XL24!!!!!!!
- I may switch back to Cirrus again, Or may just get the Speedstar 24X.
-
- Anyway, THIS VPIC .cfg should work , and it is going to make the Cirrus
- DOS incompatibility Problem to ZERO , for now.
- If you find any other problems for your Cirrus in DOS programs OR ANY TIPS,
- HINTS.....etc , PLEASE post it out, THANKS. Ken....
