- Newsflash: you can have 800x600-16 colors with Paradise/Western
- Digital (except the recent accelerated models), Trident,
- Video7/Headland, ATI VGAWonder, etc. Get the file vga800-1.zip,
- available via anonymous ftp from ftp-os2.nmsu.edu, directory
- /pub/uploads right now (it could be moved). This is a "generic"
- 800x600-16 driver which works just fine. So now you can have your
- cake and eat it too.
