SDD/2 Beta 6 (from Christoph Vogelbusch)
And the next beta of Scitech Display Doctor driver for OS/2 is available.

Changes:
  • Added support for refresh control via the OS/2 properties page. A new \os2\sddpmi.cfg file has been created, and if this file is present it is used to restrict the list of modes and refresh rates our PMI driver reports to avoid crashes in PMSHELL (with too many modes).
    Power users can play with this file to change the modes reported by our drivers.
  • Fixed bugs in ATI Mach64-GX chipsets, cause the desktop to be corrupted in anything but 640x480x256 display modes.
  • Fixed bugs in ATI Mach64-CT/ Rage/ RageII/ RagePro drivers, causing corrupt icons and bitmaps in BETA 5.
  • Performance optimisations for ATI drivers in 24bpp modes, by implementing accelerated system memory blits and both mono and color pattern fills.
  • Fixed performance problem in S->S blit operations in Matrox drivers.
    We should now be getting similar performance to that of Matrox drivers.
  • Fixed hardware cursor disappearing problem for Matrox Millenium and Millenium II based boards. The text I beam cursor should now be visible as it is supposed to be.

SDD/2 Beta 5 (from Adrian Gschwend)
SciTech Soft released Beta 5 of SDD/2.

Changes in BETA 5:
  • Added support for ATI Mach64-GX and Mach64-CX chipsets. This includes all older ATI boards with external RAMDAC's, both VRAM and DRAM.
  • Lowered memory clock for Matrox boards, to solve the problems of missing pixels on some board configurations.
  • Lots of updates to the installation program to better handle installs over the top of old releases, and fix some other problems.
  • Upgraded the GRADD components to 0.80, as released by IBM.
  • Work around to remove extended text modes from our PMI driver temporarily. This fixes problems with some fullscreen programs crashing (such as Watchcat). We will re-instate these modes once we figure out why these programs crash when they are enabled.
If you have problems with this release please report them to the newsserver at news.scitechsoft.com in the group scitech.display.doctor.os2.beta.

If SDD/2 is crashing on your system you should try to post the information you find in popuplog.os2, this helps to find the errors in the beta.

SDD/2 is a display driver for OS/2 which will support almost every newer chipset in the final version. You can get a list of the features at http://www.scitechsoft.com.

Commercial PCCard driver for OS/2 (from Dr. Martinus)
TouchStone, a German company, has published a PC Card (PCMCIA) driver for OS/2, which supports over 60 different adapters, including CardBus drivers from Texas Instruments, Toshiba and Ricoh. They offer these only for corporate customers, but I have contacted them to find out if also individuals can order.

If you try it out, please let me know how it works (for the Notebook/2 Site).
