Hi Dennis, ELSA produces the WINNER family of graphic controllers. Our boards range from entry level controllers to high-end 3D accelerated graphic controllers. We produce all of our own drivers, both for CAD products as well as for windowed operating systems like Windows 3.1/NT/95, OS/2 Warp, NextStep, etc. We also support multiple hardware platforms including DEC's ALPHA. For AutoCAD we have our DOS ELSAicon driver and our Windows POWERdraft for AutoCAD driver. Both are full featured drivers with direct hardware support for the maximum performance. In fact we provide almost identical performance under R13 for Windows NT as under R13 for DOS! POWERdraft for AutoCAD for Windows/NT is for Intel platforms. DEC Alpha support includes NT drivers for DEC Alpha's, OpenGL support, 3D hardware acceleration with our GLoria graphics controller, and even dual screen Windows NT support. There are two files in the libraries that you can download. The first is called WINNER.TXT (here and GO ACAD) and it describes ELSA's different product offerings. The second is PDRA_U.ZIP (GO ACAD) and it is a Windows help file that tells you about our POWERdraft for AutoCAD driver. You should also feel free to call us at 800-272-ELSA for additional information. I hope that helps. Sincerely, Tom
