SciTech Soft released Beta 5 of SDD/2. You can download the copy at
ftp://ftp.scitechsoft.com/sdd/beta/os2/sdd-os2-7.0.0-b5.zip (about 3.5
megs).

Changes in BETA 5:
------------------

 . Added support for ATI Mach64-GX and Mach64-CX chipsets. This
   includes all older ATI boards with external RAMDAC's, both VRAM and DRAM.

 . Lowered memory clock for Matrox boards, to solve the problems of
   missing pixels on some board configurations.

 . Lots of updates to the installation program to better handle
   installs over the top of old releases, and fix some other 
   problems.

 . Upgraded the GRADD components to 0.80, as released by IBM.

 . Work around to remove extended text modes from our PMI driver
   temporarily. This fixes problems with some fullscreen programs
   crashing (such as Watchcat). We will re-instate these modes 
   once we figure out why these programs crash when they are enabled.

If you have problems with this release please report them to the
newsserver at news.scitechsoft.com in the group
scitech.display.doctor.os2.beta

If SDD/2 is crashing on your system you should try to post the
information you find in popuplog.os2, this helps to find the errors in
the beta.

SDD/2 is a display driver for OS/2 which will support almost every
newer chipset in the final version. You can get a list of the features
at http://www.scitechsoft.com

Have fun
