- I would like to use OS/2 in 1280x1024x256colors , and would welcome any and
- all suggestions on how to do this. I have come up with two options so far:
-
- 1. Buy a New Monitor and card. ATI Ultra Pro with 2 MB should do, with a 17"
- monitor to go along with it.
-
- or: I have a nice FIXED FREQUENCY 19" 64KHz Trinitron Monitor. Digital sells
- a card made by Appian based on the TIGA 34020 chipset that will do all VGA modes
- and Several SVGA modes at this FIXED FREQUENCY. Also, Appian is planning
- to release a Rendition IV card that may have this capability built in. These
- cards are about $1700 US at present.
-
- 2. Buy the $1700 TIGA card, and hope for drivers for OS/2 from digital or Appian.
- Appian.
-
- I would like to limit the total cost of the system upgrade to $1700 US.
-
- Does anyone have any suggestions? Any and all input would be appreciated.
-
- Thanks,
- Rusty
