-
- For OS/2 2.0 (without the Service Pak): 640x480-256, 800x600-256, and
- 1024x768-256, from ATI. None support "seamless" Win-OS/2 at present.
-
- The ATI Ultra and Vantages series are 8514/A hardware compatible, so
- they operate with the stock 8514/A driver in OS/2 2.x. That provides
- 1024x768 in 256 colors, and it is the recommended mode of operation at
- present for that resolution. Do not set a refresh rate greater than
- 72 Hz noninterlaced when operating in this mode.
-
- Those ATI adapters also contain the Wonder chipset, so they will
- operate (noncoprocessed) with any VGAWonder drivers that appear.
