Subject: Hunt for the orchid driver


I work on 2 stations:
486 DX50 + Farenheit 1280 Orchid (S3)
     software uses BC3.1 and graphic routines are written directly for the orchid card

486 DX2-66 (orchid motherboard with local bus) + orchid graphic card VLB (local bus)
     software uses DJGPP (glory to him) and graphic routines use S3 driver (stealth.grd)

Drawing speeds are exactly the same. What a pity!!!

So, does an orchid driver exist? Can i expect that it increase my drawing speed?
Theoretically, second configuration is twice faster than first one.
