- I received a ET4000 card by ColorView today. The following is an extract
- from its README file date June 18, 1992. Is this a sign of interest in
- supporting OS/2 drivers for ET4000?

- Introduction
-
- As a VGA Card the ColorView offers top-the-line performance.
-
- Also included with the card is the IBM 8514 Emulation Driver (RIXA18). This
- is a Software Emulator and as such does not perform the full range of capabi-
- lities a Hardware Emulator might. The Software Emulator has been tested with
- serveral various software programs. In spite of fact, we assume no responsibility
- for any lack of compatability to any program requiring or offering an IBM-8514
- Mode.
-
- The ColorView VGA Card is based on the TsengLabs ET4000 Chip, which unlike
- other VGA cards offers a real 16-bit Graphic-Controller.
-
- We strongly recommend that before installing any software packages the corresponding
- sub-directories be copied on to a separate disk.
