This is a long shot, but does anyone have any info
(particularly the EISA .CFG file) for a high-end video card once turned out by Helio
Computers, Inc.? This is a 'HiRes 1280,' and it would be a Cool Thing if I could
get it going in a system I'm putting together.
Try the visual search on video cards at Windrivers at http://www.windrivers.com/ and look
for the video pump chip on the card. Even though Helio made the card, or sold it, it may
have an S3, trident, or other video chip on it that a generic driver would work for.
There may even be an EISA file for it as well if you find a source for the drivers but
uusally EISA machines use their own EISA setup program to talk to the EISA cards, much
like the setup on microchannel cards since EISA is essentially ISA enhanced to include
smart
features that MCA had.
What EISA machine do you have, I may have a setup program or know where to locate it.
