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.
