- There is a beta-level driver for the Orchid Fahrenheit 1280 board
- on ftp-os2.nmsu.edu. I do not know if it will work on any other
- S3 board besides the Fahrenheit 1280, but it's worth a shot. I
- personally have a newer Fahrenheit 1280 and the drivers don't work
- very well (the whole system crashes whenenver I open a windowed
- command line session).
-
- However, the other than that the screen redraws are very quick...
- much faster than my Tseng-compatible board (I can't vouch for the speed of
- windowed command-line sessions, though).
