Just a couple more notes.

Ive found out that for my monitor to behave under OS/2 i need to boot
dos and run windows (with the 800x600x256 driver loaded) before booting
OS/2. I guess this could be fixed another way or I could buy a better
monitor.

Also, theres a chance that the patch wont work for you. If it doesnt,
dont panic (HHGTTG :-). They can be patched again! I mean its all just
a question of what string to patch into the *.dll files instead of
"Orchid Technology". SVGA.EXE and VSVGA.SYS are patched a different way.
Its a pity Orchid are a company and not friends to people who dont own
there video cards. We all live in the same world.
