- I don't know about you, but I couldn't do a full 640x480x256 on my machine.
- (I'm not sure how much memory my card has, so your milage may vary.)
- I had to go find a 640x400x256 driver. The one I ended up with is PVGA1A31
- or something like that...
- It's on Wuarchive in the mirrors2/win3/drivers/video directory (I think)...
-
- Also, remember you need to install your video drivers using SETUP in the Win31
- directory, you can NOT do it from within Windows (for some reason...).

- Hope this helps,
