- =================================
-
- VIDEO DRIVERS: as of May, 1991
- =============
-
- This is a current listing of the video drivers included with CompuShow. Modes
- in (parentheses) are simulated. Note that some modes may not be available on
- your video adapter. For example:
-
- - 16 color 1024x768 requires a 512K VGA,
- - 256 color 640x480 requires a 512K VGA,
- - 256 color 1024x768 reguires a 1M VGA, and
- - 256 color modes on an 8514/A adapter require the memory expansion.
-
- Also, VGA adapters that are built-in to a system board or bundled with a
- computer (unless you're getting a specific name-brand board), are frequently
- low-end (cheap) adapters, and probably don't have "Super-VGA" capabilities.
