- Okay, I still do not know which video card to get with my new computer to
- run OS2. Above all, I would like an ATI Ultra, but cannot afford one.
- I guess I will look into the Vantage or even the Wonder.
- My other options are the SpeedStar or a local bus adapter based on the ET4000
- chip. How do the Tseng cards work with OS2 ? A techie from IBM said that
- a special patch is required for OS2 to work with the ET4000, and it is
- available through IBM. Does anyone have experience with this?
-
- And what about local bus video? Does OS2's 32 bit interface take full
- advantage of the local bus video? And are there drivers out there for
- local bus ET4000 for OS2 ?
-
- More importantly, what do people think is a good video adapter to work with
- OS2 ? Please reply via EMail.

- Thanx,
