What video drivers support R13 running under a Symmetric Glydermax2 3-d
accelerator card?

The current driver is TurboDLD by Panacea--It won't allow Autocad to
load - I get an illegal operation error.

Any comments on softengine Fx by Virant Graphics? Or, AccelratedDisplay
Driver by Vibrant Graphics?

Glynn:

Neither TurboDLD nor Soft Engine FX are being made anymore. TurboDLD was
last updated in 1995, so it would not support the Glydermax board, which
was not manufactured at the time. I believe that the last version of FX
came out about the same time.

If you're running the DOS version of R13, you may be able to use the full
version of Soft Engine for DOS, configured for VESA Compatibles, and run
the board in VESA emulation mode. SE-DOS does not directly support the
board, though. You can download the driver from Vibrant's Web site,
http://www.vibrant.com, and run it in demo mode to see if it will work. In
demo mode, it will run for 20 minutes each day.

If you're running the Windows version of R13 under Windows95 or NT, Soft
Engine for Windows should work nicely with the board. You can try it out as
a demo, too.

Feel free to send me an email if you have any questions.
