- There are TIGA drivers for OS/2. I'm almost positive. The thing is that
- they're not produced by TI or a board manufacturer like National Design,
- Matrox, Hercules, etc. They're being produced by an independent company.
-
- Someone posted a list of OS/2 applications and "applications to be." It
- was really huge and listed the names of many lesser known applications and
- vendors. If someone can post that list again, I'm sure I can find the TIGA
- drivers I thought I saw.
