You can download SciTech Display Doctor 7.0 for OS/2 BETA 22 from our ftp site using the following URL: ftp://ftp.scitechsoft.com/sdd/beta/os2/sdd-os2-7.0.0-b22.exe What's new: . Added the latest IBM Natural Language Versions of their GRADD components to the installer. This means that SDD/2 should now properly install and function correctly on all versions of OS/2, including far east versions. Of course our installer is still English only, but we plan to internationalise it further down the track. . Added support for a number of laptop chipsets, including full flat panel support. This includes . All remaining changes are now tracked on the web. Public changes are tracked at the following URL: http://www.scitechsoft.com/sdd2_changes.txt 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 supported chips: This is a complete list of the various graphics cards that this version of SciTech Display Doctor supports. 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.
