- Yes, you can run OS/2 in 24-bit color -- see the latest FAQ List for a
- couple names of companies making adapters. (Genoa might also have
- something now, by the way.)
-
- However, TI has been rather OS/2 hostile in the past. I would suggest
- calling them and expressing your interest in OS/2 TIGA drivers. You
- might also remind them that they are going to profit if IBM sells lots
- of MWave DSP machines. :-) (TI and IBM are partners in MWave.)
