That's the price you pay for staying with a OS that has
such a small user base (not saying anything about the OS
it self). The reason I do like Matrox is because of their
commitment to NT. They have a big stake in it because of
the CAD programs ported to NT. Otherwise I would be where
you are now (as I was with Diamond). It is probably going to 
get worse for you poor OS/2 er's with all the wire heads 
cranking out win95 drivers.
