Trident Cyber 9382. 1MB.

Other than the built in LCD panel being limited to 800x600 you can run
all the modes common with 1MB video cards. 640x480,24-bit, 800x600,
16-bit, 1024x768,8-bit. I've got a TP560-120 and think it is a really
nice unit. I run my LCD at 800x600,16-bit and run my external monitor at
the same res. It keeps everything looking the same and I need the color
depth more than I need the extra screen area.

I run OS/2 Warp Connect on my P100/64MB desktop, but use Win95 on the
TP560/24MB since it seems to be the best OS for what I am doing on it.
If I had the free cash I'd definitely take this TP560 to 40MB. Oh well,
maybe in a few months. I just got the thing a month ago.. =)
