So are there any 928 S3 adapters with an EISA bus interface and (here's the
catch) with OS/2 drivers?

Any info is appreciated...

Oh, another question - do the newer S3 cards have faster DOS & VGA speed or
are they still notoriously slow?  If they're still slow, will it be possible
for me to continue using my Orchid PDiis card for VGA and use the S3 for
SVGA?

Thanks
