Phil, Altho' most vid-card manufacturers include ADI drivers, the particular ones I use are Panacea, Inc. Display List Drivers (DLD386-VGA(tm)) for the Diamond Turbo VGA (TS4000). After the initial config, you simply set four DOS environment variables DLDCFG=C:\driver_dir DSPADI=C:\driver_dir\driver_name RDPADI= .. ditto .. RCPADI= .. ditto .. Other Autodesk products scan the environment for these pointers, and video performance is typically 2-4x faster (and, at whatever resolution you config for). I've got mine set to 640x480x256, and *it seemed* (remember, this is highly subjective!) that CHAOS was crisper, brighter. But, spend a week or two staring at Blue-on-Gray AutoCAD, and a TV Test Pattern looks pretty exciting, too <G>. Let me know if you experience the same thing. 73, Tom.
