- I have tried this driver and find that it introduces serious bugs
- not seen in the build 50 ones:
-
- DOS boxes generate garbage on the screen outside of themselves, and
- if you run a Mach32 program full screen in a DOS box, on returning
- to a Windows graphics screen I find more damage than with the Build 50
- ones.
-
- If the Build 50 ones work for you ... these are worse. It's not for nothing
- they are labelled "beta". The build 50 ones are far superior in my case.
