- Actually, I have had some luck with the mach 8 drivers. The only strangness
- to be noted there is that large fonts sometimes don't appear in Word for
- Windows. Do you have a 1 meg or 2 meg card? The mach 8 drivers are fussy
- about sharing VGA memory, so you need to set aside memory specifically for
- VGA, but I don't think you can unless you have a 2 meg card (unless you only
- want 16 colors...) oh well,.....happy 8514ing.
