- Hi netters!
-
- Please clarify : How does the 32-bit graphics engine work when you have
- a 16-bit video card? Are there any 32-bit video board around?
-
- I have a NEC 4FG monitor (non-interlaced) but still acting like interlaced.
- Is there such thing as interlaced video board? I have an AST 486/33 where
- the video board is burned into the motherboard. Can I install another video
- board without conflict?
-
- How can I find out the memory of my video card? Are there any utilities
- to do that? (I tried MSD.EXE but not in there.) I'm getting only 16 colors.
-

- If 300,000 of us will get the beta version 2.1 at $15 each IBM will earn
- 4.5 M! Are we getting a rebate for the real thing?
-
- Can you install beta 2.1 over GA+SP or can you install in another partition?
-
- -----
- When I demonstrated OS/2 to my boss, he is 'terrified about my computer
- knowledge.' Suddenly I became an expert! Well, to scare me back, he wants
- me to set-up a 5-node network. I have read tcpstart.txt from hobbes and
- os2v2-lan.ann from ibm. Any readable text around?
