I was reading one of John Dvorak's columns in a PC magazine where he
was discussing the joys and pitfalls of running OS/2.  In an
annoyingly offhand remark, he says that OS/2 doesn't like Trident
ET4000 SVGA cards.  I am about to purchase a system that has a Trident
ET4K card in it.  While I am buying the machine to run Windows, I
would like to keep my OS/2 options open.  What is this mysterious
incompatibility problem?  Is it just a scarcity of OS/2 drivers, or is
there something deeper?
