- Just a couple more notes.
-
- Ive found out that for my monitor to behave under OS/2 i need to boot
- dos and run windows (with the 800x600x256 driver loaded) before booting
- OS/2. I guess this could be fixed another way or I could buy a better
- monitor.
-
- Also, theres a chance that the patch wont work for you. If it doesnt,
- dont panic (HHGTTG :-). They can be patched again! I mean its all just
- a question of what string to patch into the *.dll files instead of
- "Orchid Technology". SVGA.EXE and VSVGA.SYS are patched a different way.
- Its a pity Orchid are a company and not friends to people who dont own
- there video cards. We all live in the same world.
