 That is not my experience on this P-100.  If like me you are very sensitive to
 flicker and cannot abide 60 Hz, generic ET4000 W32 cards may not be for you.
 I had one initially, and expanded it in that hope to 2 Mb from 1 Mb - a total 
 waste as under OS/2 it would still only do 60 Hz and 256 colors at 1024x768. 
 Presumably it is a driver issue, but no less a problem for that.   

 I traded it all back for a 2 Mb #9 FX331 (could not raise the $$ for a 4 Mb Matrox
 Millenium) and this runs fine at 75 Hz and 16 bit color with the #9 2.57 S3 drivers
 from the #9 site - not supplied with the card though.  Only problem is no mouse
 pointer in FS Win-OS2, but seamless has done all I need so far.
