VIDEO CARDS: ATI, Intel, VIA... whatever you got...

[l3mce]

I just wanted to thank you for your continued enthusiasm and reporting. It is very helpful for me.

No need at all to thank me, I am just a grateful user.  I have been using LMCE in some form or another for 3 years now and I enjoy doing my part to make it even better.  With enough effort I will eventually help write code but until that time I do what I know, which is piecing things together until they POST, then dumping the results on your lap.

Imagine if 18,821 people gave hardware and setup feedback from their unique systems!  For me to find unsupported junk I would have to dig out a IIgs or C128 cassette drive.

Disappointing test tonight.  I had pretty high hopes for this card and wanted to test multiple output modes.  Supported yes but not good in any way.  I will keep it up for a few days and perhaps see if I can't adjust it and edit this post if I get better results.  Here you go L3mce:
