John, Thanks for your help. At this time I am using the 3DS r2 driver and it works OK. I dont get the 1280 x 1024 that I have become spoiled with. As you say "pitifully slow" portion of the card, I could buy a $50 Tseng card that would run circles around this MGA in dos. The release 2 driver will suffice for now. Let me know if you hear of any news, and I will do the same. Thanks again for your help. Chris

Please give Matrox a call and harrass them severely into writing a R3 driver like they promised. They should be able to whip up an intermediary version for us, but only if we scream loud enough. I'm planning my monthly haranguing phone call tommorrow. Ask for Kim Pallister. John Tissavary (La Luna cie)

John, >>Please give Matrox a call and harrass them severely into writing a R3 driver like they promised.<< I will be screaming with you, as my demo PCI MGA2 is on the way!!! Chuck

Excellent! I heard from Brian Massey at Vibrant that the in-line patch for MGA's will be ready in one or two months. John Tissavary (La Luna cie)

Lets see, convert normal time and space for us, convert to vendor time/space, multiply by three or four and you have actual delivery time.

Yeah, delivery time. But if you really bug them big time they may upload a patch on the forum for us to get ASAP. It's not like it would be useful for anyone without 3DS R3, so safety couldn't be an issue. And I'm sure all 3DSers out there would appreciate the opportunity to download the patch and not have to wait for the U.S. Snail.

John, I'll bug the hell out of them. Let me know if you hear anything and thanks for your input. Chris
