Does anyone know if there are drivers available for big (>=20") color
screens in OS/2-PM-Microchannel environment ?

I am not a regular reader of this newsgroup and I don't know too much
about OS/2&co, so I'm sorry if this question is trivial/irrelevant.
I'm asking this for some friends of mine that are converting their
DOS-Windows based software into OS/2-PM-Microchannel (wonder?)world.
The software is running very well already with regular screens, but
"THERE ARE NO DRIVERS FOR BIG (Viking) SCREENS AVAILABLE !" as they put it.
Is it true ?
I really hope it is not true, because they have done a lot of effort to
get such cute interface (that can be run with DOS+Windows+Big Screens).
At least 2 * A4 in a Medical Workstation is "a must", you know.

If anyone has information about proper drivers, please let me know.
Send email to "koskivirta@vttsai.sai.vtt.fi". I will reply your mailings,
so you can be sure your mailing got through. Thanks in advance !
