Well, after some long and expensive conversations with both ATI and SCO, no
driver for the enhanced color and resolution modes exist. ATI says that they
have provided the information necessary to write a driver to SCO, but they
wouldn't give that information to me, and SCO wants $400 for technical support
before they would let me ask for that information. I did cough up the $100 for
access to SCO's technical support BBS. I hope the info's there. If I get the
info and am able to write my own driver, I will post that fact here. It will
take a while, since I have some computer-science classes to deal with as well.
