- The .DRV files are the same, but some of the support files (VDDs,
- grabbers, etc.) differ. VDDTLI4.386 from the ET4 set is *not*
- identical to VDDTCI5.386 from the colorview set, etc.

- My measurements (using WinTach and WinBench) show the Colorview
- drivers to be a few percent faster, no doubt because of improvements
- in the support files.
