- In fact the cards will do it for you. Try turning off VIDEO_ROM_EMULATION
- in your DOS windows and watch the scrolling wizz by (relatively speaking).
- I'd say my DOS windows are 5 times faster than my OS/2 windows but still
- labouriously slow.

- It seems that the hardware scrolling capabilities of the card (I assume it
- has some given the above performance) are better than the software
- equivalents. If only we could confgure OS/2 windows even slightly as much
- as we can DOS ones.
