- So the 8515 works pretty well with the card?
- Did you need to buy a special adapter for it? I thought I read in the
- announcement that 85xx monitors needed an adapter.
- I have an 8515 with a model 70-121 that I was considering an XGA-2 card
- for.
- Does it speed up OS/2 overall (I mean, all video writes)? Right now
- I love OS/2, except for the video. It takes a lot of time with screen
- draws when I have several windows open at once.
- How did you install the device drivers for OS/2 for it? Doesn't the
- service pack come with them?
-
- Thanks for any answer you can give.
