- Hy Ian!
-
- YEP MOVE to OS/2. I have he same set up (I used to have 4Mb of mem, but
- went up to 8) and I am more then happy!! Win went out the door!
-
- As much as I know there is driver for the Ultra and Vantage, simply used
- the drivers that came with your disk (the ones for OS/2 1.3) or give a
- call to ATI BBS in Toronto.
-
- I'll admit that at boot-up it seem slow, but once up it is a pleasure to
- run, not much trouble.
- Get the different patches principally the on for the kernel at your
- nearest IBM BBS (Again there's one in Toronto) or look up for an OS/2
- related BBS in your Area.
-
- Hope this help you and make you go to OS/2!
