- I have a Trident 8900C with 3.01 BIOS & 1 meg RAM. I use the beta
- drivers from CICA with 3.1, ALL of them (I use a PD program called
- SWITCHER, which makes switching between the modes easy, and I like
- 1Kx768x256 for image processing, while 800x600x16 is nice with word
- processing, etc...). I've had absolutely no problems. The Windows'
- 800x600 driver works nicely also. I have mouse on DOS windows, but
- regrettably (*not* :) EGA or VGA graphics (due to the beta drivers),
- only CGA. Apart from the slight sluggishness the 8900 and the drivers
- perform well with my setup.
