Jake – I've been using 3DStudio's RCPVGA41.EXP with the VRAM II I'm looking at, and it's been pointed out to me that that driver is useless with that card, since it's designed for the VRAM I. Gary Yost suggests I use Panarender. I'm probably not going to keep the II; I may go back to my old 1024i or look at something else altogether. Will Panarender work with a 1024i? Are there card-specific versions of it? And do you have a dealer in western Canada, or should I order direct? Dave

Dave: Why don't you go on V7's BBS and see if they have drivers posted, yet? (I don't have the number handy, but I can get it if you need it…). C#

Craig – I looked when I brought the V2 home a couple weeks ago, but there weren't anything then.

Dave, Jake's off to Image System's RasterWorld this week in warm and sunny Lake Placid so I'll answer this for you. Gary's right, the VRAM II is subtly different from the VRAM I. When we got our first one in, we had to change a couple of minor things to get it work properly. Right now, PanaRender supports the 1024i, FastWrite, VRAM I, and VRAM II. Both the 1024i and FastWrite only support up to 640×480 in 256 colors, the VRAM I supports up to 800×600 and the VRAM II supports a full 1024×768. I'm not sure where our dealers are in western Canada. If there is one in your area, we prefer that you deal through them. If you can narrow it down a bit, I can find out. Or you can just give us a call and find out right away. 800-729-7420 or 603-437-5022. Brad Ek [Panacea Inc.]

Brad – I'd be looking for a dealer in or around Vancouver, B.C. Dave
