I've been trying to get my 1 Meg Viper VLB (Rev. A4) to work with Windows NT 3.5 for the last couple of days with no success. The generic Weitek P9000 drivers _almost_ work…the system boots, but the display is scrambled. In fact, it looks exactly like the old OS/2 drivers that were incompatible with 1 Meg cards (maybe just Rev. A4 1 Meg cards) did. About every third scan line displays properly…the lines above and below are the "good" ones are shifted to the left and right. I also tried installing the Viper VLB drivers and changing the "Membase" variable in the registry as Dale St. Claire mentioned on 16-Nov-94 (Msg #97776). Same results…scrambled screen. Is the generic Weitek P9000 driver compatible with 1 Meg Vipers? I suspect it's not. I'd appreciate any other suggestions. —— Randy Weems <Red Herring Corp.> 25-Nov-1994 11:10
