- Steve,
-
- I have experience with three machines using a Trident and C3.01 Bios.
- First is mine, using a Zenith ZCM-1492 monitor, 640x480x256c no problem.
- Second is a friend using a Sony-1304, worked in 640x480x256c and 1024x
- 768x256c, but at 800x600x256c had problems with vertical height, desk-
- top was ok in height, but OS/2 and DOS full screen were short, and any
- program run in DOS was short.
- Third, at work using a NEC 3FGx, works great in all three resolutions.
