  14. Nope, you won't be able to write a nifty program to get the card into
  15. unusual modes, because ATI is not going to tell you how.
  16.  
  17. I was going to get an Ultra+, and I called ATI, and they said that if
  18. I wrote them a note on company letterhead stating the reason I wanted to
  19. know how to program their card they would consider selling me the
  20. programming information.
  21.  
  22. I thought about telling them if they should send me a letter on company
  23. letterhead why I should buy a product that they won't tell me how to use.
  24. But I refrained, and cancelled my order.
  25.  
  26. DON'T BUY ATI PRODUCTS IF YOU WANT TO KNOW PROGRAMMING INFORMATION.
