- Would you believe that, in one of the recent roundups of accelerated
- SuperVGA adapters, Diamond was claiming that its 2.0 driver was
- available upon request?
-
- XGA-2 from IBM is available now. IBM sells a Microchannel version in
- the U.S. Radius and a couple other companies are slated to deliver AT
- bus XGA-2 adapters this month. (Outside the U.S., IBM sells an AT bus
- XGA-2 adapter.)
-
- The Microchannel version is certainly a good choice. Since the AT bus
- version is not yet available, no one has been able to form any
- opinions on it.
