What is SciTech Display Doctor for OS/2?

SciTech Display Doctor for OS/2 brings SciTech's proven DOS and 
Windows device support technologies to the OS/2 Operating System. 
Although one of the core features of our DOS and Windows products is 
the support for the VESA VBE/Core standard, the OS/2 version has 
nothing at all to do with VESA services. Rather SciTech Display 
Doctor for OS/2 incorporates the new SciTech Nucleus, Graphics 
Architecture device driver technology to bring SciTech's device 
support to the OS/2 platform. 

SciTech Nucleus is a binary portable, OS neutral, device driver 
architecture. As binary portable drivers, SciTech can fully develop 
and test the core device drivers in the DOS and Windows environments,
while being able to target any Intel x86 based OS as the runtime 
environment (such as OS/2). This essentially allows the OS/2 product 
to utilise the same SciTech binary device drivers as the DOS and 
Windows versions of the product, improving the quality and 
performance of the drivers for all supported operating systems.  


Runtime Requirements

SciTech Display Doctor for OS/2 requires a version of OS/2 Warp 3 or 
OS/2 Warp 4 in order to run. More imporantly, it requires at least 
Warp 3 with fixpack 35, or Warp 4 with fixpack 5 installed. If you 
have a version with earlier fixpacks installed, SciTech Display 
Doctor will refuse to install. 


List of all supported chips:

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. 

Note: Please check the separate list of supported laptop chipsets for 
      more information if you are using this product on a laptop. All
      laptop chipsets are still listed here as many laptop chipset 
      can also be used in regular PCI/AGP boards.
