- I never received a single $ for those drivers... so I don't feel
- really committed to deliver a new version :-)
- Well, I may distributed my 16bit generic 800x600x16 driver, which
- works fine with the SP (it has been written from the 2.0 16bit VGA driver).
- Since I just got the new Kernel Debugger (for the SP), I may also
- try to recompile the 256c drivers... don't hold your breath on it
- however!
