- OK. First of all, you realize that 1024x768 will be interlaced on a
- NEC/3D. This is in the monitor's specs.
-
- Anyhow, from a full-screen DOS session, run the INSTALL program that
- came with the board, and set the monitor type to NEC 3D, etc.
-
- That being done (you may have to reboot...), go to the Selective
- Install utility (OS/2 System -> Setup -> Selective Install), and
- install the 8514/a drivers. This will get you a 1024x768 desktop.
-
- If you'd rather use the 800x600 mode of the Ultra, ATI has OS/2 1.3
- drivers which will work for this. Download them and install them as
- per the instructions that come with them.
-
- After rebooting, you should have a lovely hi-res accelerated desktop.
