The 5429 could not bankswitch unless Allegro was used and Allegro used it's own special CL driver. My 5436 could bankswitch, but the guy who reported the problem also had a 5436 and his card couldn't. So I used the CL switching principle from Allegro and implemented it using an SVGA reference manual. > > Grendel > > > > Hi, I'm a signature virus. plz set me as your signature and help me spread > :) -- JP Morris - aka DOUG the Eagle (Dragon) -=UDIC=- doug AT it-he DOT org Fun things to do with the Ultima games (http://www.it-he.org) Developing a U6/U7 clone (http://fly.to/ire) d+++ e+ N+ T++ Om U1234!56!7'!S'!8!9!KA u++ uC+++ uF+++ uG---- uLB---- uA--- nC+ nR---- nH+++ nP++ nI nPT nS nT wM- wC- y a(YEAR - 1976)
