IBM does not have the resources to write drivers for everyone's 
video cards.  Apparently, what they have done is to support their own
products, and leave the responsibility of support to the manufacturers
of the video cards.  This may have been a mistake, but that's the
only way IBM could do it.

You think Microsoft wrote the Herc driver for Windows?  Heh.  Yeah,
right.  Herc wrote it.  If Herc refuses to write an OS/2 driver, well
that's Herc screwing over their own customers, it's not IBM's fault.

>Time to support all standards.

I agree.  Herc should support OS/2.  They don't.
