- I also have WD90C30 based card and this driver didn't work for me. When I boot,
- I get a blank (dark) screen. The disk activity stops and that's it. Can't do
- Ctrl-Alt-Del. Only way to reboot is the reset button.
-
- So, I'm still using the generic vga driver that was included in the service
- pack. My display also loses sync in Full Screen OS/2 session. The only way to
- avoid it is not to run full screen DOS or WIN-OS2 sessions. Once it loses sync,
- there is no way to get it to work except a fresh boot.
