- disclaimer: I know nothing about writing display drivers.
-
- I do know that an ISA bus is 16 bit. Therefore, does it not follow
- that for a display adapter plugged into an ISA bus, it is defacto 16
- bit and can never be 32 bit? So, how do you write a 32 bit driver for
- a 16 bit piece of hardware?
