DOS Drivers?Helpful Member!

I have been amusing myself by running a Multiple OS system. I have just resurrected DOS 6.22, and have discovered that my applications can only use the default Video with 16 colors.

Several DOS applications provide a list of advanced display adapters, all of which are for ISA slots. I tried the site for my graphics card (Nvidia GeForce2 MX), but they list no drivers for DOS.

I suppose I should give up, but I wonder if there is any software for AGP Slot adapters that simulates the old ISA slot video cards.

Eschew obfuscation!

Think you have just hit the wall of backwards compatibility.
Doubt seriously that any AGP card manufacturer will support DOS drivers.

Any advice I give is my best judgement based on my interpretation of the facts you supply.

Help increase my knowledge by providing some feedback, good or bad, on any advice I have given.
