- That is _very_ interesting. It seems that OS/2's DOS support is pretty
- slick (once you get the settings right). It's a pity that OS/2 windows are
- still so slow - and there are no settings to play with.

- I have just run the Diagnostic program that came with my TSENG MEGA EVA/2
- and it says it's using an 8 bit data bus. It's a 16 bit card in a 486 ISA
- machine. The manual says it should automatically detect the BUS size it is
- running on and there is no jumper override on the card.

- I suspect that this is causing my awful scrolling (although I still don't
- understand why OS/2 is so much slower than DOS in a window).

- Anybody got any ideas about getting my card to 16 bit mode. It locks up my
- machine tight when I try run the DMODE program [All this in natvie DOS 5.0]
