Robert..
Ok sorry my mistake… The amount of flaming going on elsewhere
makes for caution…
To add a little to the diamond debate then I visited a local company
Friday to discover he had a Diamond 64VRAM card… And couldn't get the
Vesa mode to run at all. Which was a shame because I'd converted my
flics to self running .EXE's to make life easier and the self runner only
works in vesa mode.
My own problems with OS2 and the stealth 64 DRAM look like vesa problems as
IBM's vesa reporting program can't see the truecolour modes at all..
AND… the shareware program Graphics Workstation can't run in 1024×768 in vesa
mode or see the truecolour modes when running under plain old MS-DOS.
I wonder if they have a bad specification for the VESA standard and are
incorrectly implementing it on all their cards? I did suggest this some time
ago but they ignored me.
Any thoughts on this welcome.
