- You can even run 1600x1200 in 16 colors (interlaced) on a multiscan
- like the EIZO/NANAO 660.
-
- But the drivers seem to be 1.3 drivers with only the version check
- changed, since there is absolutely no virtualization, not even the
- simple one of the current 8514 drivers. Using the current drivers, you
- cannot run WinOS2 on IA if the IA is used for the PM desktop. If you
- want WinOS2 on IA, all you can do is to run a single WinOS2 session on
- IA with the desktop running XGA/VGA on a separate display - we have
- such a configuration running, to get the better OS/2 network & MO-drive
- support for someone running Windows applications.
