Hi netters!

Please clarify : How does the 32-bit graphics engine work when you have 
a 16-bit video card? Are there any 32-bit video board around?

I have a NEC 4FG monitor (non-interlaced) but still acting like interlaced.
Is there such thing as interlaced video board? I have an AST 486/33 where
the video board is burned into the motherboard. Can I install another video
board without conflict?

How can I find out the memory of my video card? Are there any utilities
to do that? (I tried MSD.EXE but not in there.) I'm getting only 16 colors.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If 300,000 of us will get the beta version 2.1 at $15 each IBM will earn
4.5 M! Are we getting a rebate for the real thing?

Can you install beta 2.1 over GA+SP or can you install in another partition?

-----
When I demonstrated OS/2 to my boss, he is 'terrified about my computer 
knowledge.' Suddenly I became an expert! Well, to scare me back, he wants 
me to set-up a 5-node network. I have read tcpstart.txt from hobbes and
os2v2-lan.ann from ibm. Any readable text around?
