A large variety of video cards and their >monitors, both Apple and third party, work just fine on A/UX, with mouse >tracking and all. This is from early BETAs through A/UX 1.0 and on. Would that it were only so. Unfortunately, A/UX 1.0 requires the video card to have a special A/UX driver on it. The only monitors that I know of that work are SuperMac and E-machines. This restriction will be removed with 1.1 since it the Macintosh Mode video driver is used. Opinions: MINE, ALL MINE! (greedy evil chuckle) David W.
