- I Talked to ATI on Friday, and they said that they WILL NOT be
- releasing any drivers for OS/2 2.0 until IBM does the 32bit GRE! That's Right
- you can probably forget having ATI support for the next 6 months.
-
- The Tech support person say if ATI was started working on Drivers, but He did
- say that they were also waiting on a Device Driver Kit from IBM.
- This sounds like a lame excuse to me. To write a Driver, all you need is
- an assembler, C compiler, linker, and the 1.x libraries. There is enough info
- already out there.
