- I have a soon-to-be very big problem here that I hope someone can help me
- solve. I bought OS/2 a couple of months ago (in May) and installed it with
- my Orchid Prodesigner II. Thinking that I wouldn't need any of the diskettes
- over the summer, I left my originals in my apartment back in NY.
-
- Now, I'm in Hawaii and just ordered an ATI Graphics Ultra to hopefully use
- the 8514 mode to speed things up a lot. The problem???? I have no
- installation disks to use with my selective install change!
-
- Is there some way I can change my setup to have it use OS/2's 8514 drivers
- without going through selective install? Are the drivers already on my
- hard drive and all I have to do is change some CONFIG.SYS settings (I choose
- full installation back in may when I first got OS/2)?
-
- If not, is there any way to get disk 6 and whatever other disks are needed
- to get the 8514 drivers on my system (I notice it prompts for disk 6 first)?
- I don't want to buy a $800+ plane ticket to get my originals nor pay another
- $50 to get another upgrade and wait an unknown amount of time.
-
- Can someone please help me?
-
- Thanks a mil!

- P.S. What are the best drivers to use with Win os/2 at high res. with
- the Graphics Ultra? Can the Win 3.1 drivers be used?
