- T .
- T . Does the S3 vidoe card have any advantage in OS/2? Are there drivers
- T . for S3 boards?
-
- At present, no, there is absolutely no advantage to an S3 video card.
-
- There are no OS/2 drivers for the S3 chip and it is believed that S2 may
- be slow-rolling the drivers, awaiting the release of the 32-bit graphics
- engine.... Sorry for the news (I have a Diamond Stealth VRAM [S3] card
- and it is no better under OS/2 than a cheapo VGA card).
