Beta Vibrant driver
Ha. Ha. Speed isn't the issue here, Mr. Walbourn. The ability to have a
machine do network slave rendering while at the same time being available for
other things is. The ONLY thing keeping 3DS from being able to effectively
multitask under Windows is the fact that it's a graphics DOS program, and
graphics DOS programs can't multitask in a window and can really mess up the
Windows display even when running full-screen. The point of my driver idea is
to allow 3DS to run as a text-mode program when it is doing slave or
command-line or batch renders. It may also help OS/2 but not as much since
OS/2 can multitask DOS graphics programs, even in windows, as-is. But it would
help solve conflicting video mode problems in both multitaskers, since
EVERYBODY supports VGA text mode!
If you don't want the idea, just say so and I'll submit it to Panacea or
your other competitors. I gave you first crack at it because to date I've
liked Vibrant better, and your in-line technology could probably make it work
better. Heck, I could probably write an RCPADI driver myself to do this if I
put my mind to it.
