According to Ke-Wei Ma <km4c+@andrew.cmu.edu>: > I was wondering if OS/2 has any support for TIGA under version 2.1 >or is IBM moving towards XGA-2? Will we get ever get away from the >dreary 256 color apps or will TI take the initiative to write a nice >generic TIGA driver for OS/2 so that the rest of the world (PC world >that is) can take advantage of the nice hardware that Windowz zombies >are using? What is the spiel on Targa/Targa compatible boards? There are actually third party TIGA drivers for OS/2. I can't remember the name of the company that produces them, but an OS/2 products list that occasionally passes through comp.os.os2.misc lists this company. You might check the pub/os2/2.0/info directory on ftp-os2.nmsu.edu to see if this list has ended up there. OS/2 and TIGA could be a cool combination. The ability of OS/2 to thread its graphics processes could result in some of the fastest video performance available. Windows could only hope to rival it. Someone needs to give TI a swift kick in the pants and demand drivers. -- John Bodnar : Friends don't let friends use Windows!
