- There is almost no difference between the old, unofficial Trident drivers,
- and the new 'Trident' drivers. I checksumed all the files, and only
- vsvga.sys, bvhsvga.dll, maybe on other changed. The real guts of the
- graphics drivers: ibmvga32.dll, ibmdev32.dll etc. didn't change.
-
- I wonder when people are going to stop calling them the Trident drivers,
- when it is evident that these are the generic SVGA drivers that IBM
- will be releasing real-soon-now.
