- Cirrus is now listed in various lists as supporting OS/2. (They
- apparently did the chipset in the ThinkPad 700C, and a 256 color
- 640x480 driver for that machine comes with the Service Pak.)
-
- I would contact them directly, however, and ask about their other
- products. I'm working on a new SuperVGA list for the FAQ List (there
- have been some additions), but that's also good reading, too.
