Questions about your post:
Is the 65545 video chip in the 701 standard issue?
In other words, is the latest Win95 driver you alluded to one that _all_
701 owners running Win95 could/should install? Does it matter if it's 701c
or 701cs?
You're talking about file name WIN95141.ZIP dated 3/25/97, size 75K,
DirectX 3.0, correct?
Is this driver also available/recommended at an IBM site?
Given past headache/heartache with video issues on other computers, and the
fact that I'm having no display problems w/my TP701c, I am loathe to mess
with video unless it's a sure thing, or darn near.
Thanks.
