This version is still a little rough around the edges for the installation process, as we have not completed the GUI configuration programs yet. Configuring the drivers is a little cumbersome and done with command line utilities for the moment, but we are now working on the dialog driven installation program and control panel utilities. Please read the readme.txt file included in the ZIP file archive thoroughly before attempting to install SDD for OS/2. For those who are interested we also have the MGL fully ported and running under OS/2 fullscreen sessions. The first beta release is already available on our ftp site, and we expect to have the next beta release ready soon with bug fixes and updates. Where to find the SDD for OS/2 beta ----------------------------------- You can download the install ZIP file from SciTech's ftp site: ftp://ftp.scitechsoft.com/sdd/beta/os2/sddos2_10_b2.zip and ftp://ftp.scitechsoft.com/sdd/beta/os2/ibmgradd.zip The ibmgradd.zip file contains all the IBM 0.77 GRADD files needed by the installation. You will only need to download and unzip this archive once for all beta releases (make sure you unzip with -d!). Supported Hardware ------------------ This is a complete list of the various graphics cards that this version of SciTech Display Doctor supports. Please note that this list refers to the actual chips being used, not a board-level implementation. Thus you will not see any products from Hercules or STB on the list, but their products are supported because they use S3, Cirrus, Tseng, etc. chips. Also, any card with less than 512KB of memory cannot be supported by SciTech Display Doctor. Please note that we are in the process of moving all our existing device support code to our new SciTech Nucleus device driver architecture. If you have a chipset that is not listed below that you would like to see supported in SciTech Display Doctor for OS/2, please send an email to sddos2@scitechsoft.com to let us know. .
