- I'd like to find out if any reader of this news group has managed to implement
- Super VGA display for OS/2 with Diamond SpeedStar Plus and CrystalScan 1024
- NI monitor. This setup was sold by Gateway about a year ago, with their
- 486/33C computers. The video card is NOT the Stealth, HighColor, or "24"
- version; just the plain "Plus" with 1 Mb memory.
-
- According to the IBM documentation that came with the OS/2 Service Pak, the
- SVGA drivers in that Pak can support the SpeedStar card with some special
- hacking of the STARTUP.CMD file invoking VMODE but I couldn't make it work
- for my system.
-
- Did anybody here have more luck with it?
-
- Thanks,
- Joe Pannon
