The other day I posted a news flash that NVIDIA has posted 
OS-Neutral core drivers for three of their cards: RIVIA128, 
TNT, and TNT2.

 I have recieved several emails informing me that the TNT 
and the TNT2 drivers already exist from NVIDIA. 

 This I realize, and I posted anyway with the following 
mindset.

 1. Although there may be OS/2 drivers for a particular 
card, often they do not take full advantage of the card 
itself. Features are often missing such as hardware 3D 
acceleration, or other features. In the case of the TNT 
series, there is a Video capture feature that their OS/2 
drivers do not even attempt to utilize.

 2. Furthermore, Often, such is the case for Matrox and 
others, while there are drivers out there, the performance 
of these cards are far below the Windows counterparts 
because the manufacturer wanted to ' just make it work' 
Often this leaves room for improvement. Look at SciTech's 
driver package.

 I am sorry for the confusion I may have caused, but I was 
under the belief that the (all) news flash(es) I submit can 
be of use to the community as a whole to better improve 
OS/2 and keep it #1 in many areas.
