Hi. I'm after information on the Hercules Stingray VL Bus 1MB video card. I 
can get my hands on one for a reasonable price but without the driver disk. Are
there good OS/2 drivers available for this card (uses the ARK chipset) and if
so where do I find them?

If I can't find drivers I'll have to keep looking for another card (but VLB cards
are getting very hard to come by :-( ).

TIA,
Rod.

Hercules has drivers available for this card, but I never could get it to work properly 
 
It would work with OS/2 sessions fine and windowed sessions, but it had serious problems  
with full screen DOS sessions giving me scrambled screens and in one case, making my ODS  
full screen session a 40 character mirror image of what it was supposed to be.  I finally 
put the card on my daughters machine which runs DOS and Win 3.1 and it works great there.
