- The following is an excerpt from an e-mail sent to me by ATI in response
- to my request about OS/2 2.0 32 bit drivers:

- Subject: Re: OS/2 2.0 32 bit drivers!
- Date: 12-17-92
- As can found here in the ATI forum in CompuServe, or by contacting ATI
- support, IBM has not yet released the Development Kit which allows us to
- complete 32 bit video drivers for OS/2 (and you will not find any other
- video board manufacturers with 32 bit video drivers on the market). IBM
- has not even released their own 8514/A 32 bit driver yet! Once we have
- the development kit, we will be able to complete and release 32 bit
- drivers. Meanwhile, the current OS/2 drivers we supply will work with the
- versions of OS/2 1.3x and 2.x, with the 16 bit Graphics Engine.

- (1) I thought Trident had released 32 bit drivers. If so, how could
- they have done it w/out the Development Kit from IBM? Or, is ATI
- the party at fault, since the above is in error and the kit exists?
-
- (2) If the kit hasn't been released yet, when will it be? Let's hope
- it is soon!
