I'm glowing with pride... I accomplished what IBM indicated was "impossible with the ThinkPad architecture". I successfully installed and configured an ISA, 3rd party graphics adapter in my Dock II. I now have 1280x1024x8bpp, 1024x768x16bpp, 800x600x24bpp and 640x480x32bpp with my 755CDV (& external monitor) operational in Win 95. This was needed because I give presentations in 16-bit color, however, I needed a large desktop to create the presentations with the desired color depth so I didn't have to undock or reboot windows to see what they would look like at the 16bpp level. I tried several display adapters (the hard part was finding high-performance ISA display cards). The following cards worked: * Hercules Dynamite Pro 2MB - 87Hz *interlaced* at 1024x768x16bpp, however (Back it went) ;-\ * STB Nitro 64 2MB - Use the drivers that ship with Win95, not the Win95 drivers that come with the card - compatibility issues. At $189 it's a keeper! I get faster performance from the Nitro through an ISA bus than I do with the internal VLB WD driver on the flat-panel! The following didn't work at all: Any display card made by ATI. I tried 3 different ones and nearly every case the system wouldn't even boot! I don't want to bore everyone on the list with any more info, however, if you are interested, e-mail me and I'll tell you how I did it and give some tips on how to make the installation go smoothly in Win95.
