- The VESA.EXE is for PS/2 machines; it won't run for you. If you are
- moderately insane, you could try the Orchid S3 drivers for the
- F1280, but I believe that the drivers, even for the right card,
- are problematic, and there are differences between the cards.
-
- On the plus side, I notice Diamond's BBS has a poll/questionnaire
- about OS/2. No doubt this is to judge demand (gosh, what brain-
- dead employee thought this one up?). Given Diamond's attitude,
- perhaps people should fill this out a few times each, and get
- the message through that they need to make drivers.
