Have they given up?

[Bill Wood]

I run a TNT2 Ultra card using a Scitech beta driver for OS2. I
had to fool around with the OS2 install, but after I got it
working it was terrific. But then, I play games in Windows
(Win98Lite, actually), but not in OS2. That I use for
everything else. I understand that the GeForce and TNT2
architectures/designs are very similar. Unfortunately, Scitech
doesn't really have any tech support. Instead they throw you to
the mercy of a user list. Hmmm. Sounds familiar.

As for Matrox, for years, I ran ACAD under OS2 in a full-screen
DOS box, but if I tried to get back to my desk top it was hard
reboot time, everytime, and all my work was lost if I forgot to
save it. I finally got Matrox to admit the problem, but they
literally refused it fix it. All S3-based video cards worked
fine - always. Finally, at last, my Matrox driver (for old
Millenium II) handles ACAD correctly.
