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 certified chipsets:

This is a complete list of the various graphics chipsets that have 
been certified to work correctly with this version of SciTech Display
Doctor. 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.

List of all non-Certified chipsets:

This is a list of the various graphics chipsets that have native 
drivers developed for SciTech Display Doctor, but have yet to be 
completed and pass certification. The drivers should work relatively 
well, but as they have not been fully certified problems could arise 
if you use one of these chipsets. Please do not report problems 
related to uncertified drivers!

because they use NeoMagic, ATI, Cirrus etc. chips.
