- I think for every bug we mention, we should at least thank the programmer (s?)
- twice for even getting these drivers done for us. They work great for me...
- the only bug I've noticed so far is when a dos window changes from 25 to 50
- line mode and vice versa, the video screen goes all out of whack. Simply
- full-screening then windowing the window again solved this problem.
- Oh, and 70MHz at 1024x768 works just great for me! (And fast, too!)

- He's probably the only guy they've got that is capable of doing QUALITY
- programming for the F1280.

- Me, too. I think he's done a wonderful job on them for just the second
- release. The only things that I can see that need touching up are the above
- mentioned problem and some palette management (I guess that would require
- 32 bit drivers). Let's just be glad we don't own ATI cards!!
