- I am interested in hearing if any of the coprocessed video cards (e.g.
- S3, Weitek, TIGA chipsets) on the market have OS/2 2.0 drivers that take
- advantage of them. A lot of the marketing hype about some of the
- chipsets blathers on about how the limited functions which are
- implemented were "optimized for Windows" but I cannot imagine that they
- are *THAT* much different from low-level functions which OS/2 PM would
- use. I would imagine that any speed gains in using local-bus cards would
- automagically propagate to OS/2 2.0 systems, if the drivers existed.
-
- Anyone with such, or who can comment on such?
