- Hmm. How fast do you want it to go? I just did a quick test and got
- about 20 lines/sec. Too fast to read certainly, but I can just barely
- tell whats scrolling by at that speed. Faster scrolling would be
- detrimental. Now this doesn't mean paging. I used the GNU cat *.c
- command to check it out in my other window.

- I'm using the standard VGA drivers on GA+SP. I did try the 800x600
- mode for my ET4000 based card and found it too slow, but I'll use VGA
- until I get a new 17" monitor. (Actually, I'm waiting for the XGA-2
- cards for ISA to come down a bit in price too.)
