DOS Drivers? 1

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!
If one hundred million people believe a foolish idea, it is still a foolish idea!
 
Think you have just hit the wall of backwards compatibility.
Doubt seriously that any AGP card manufacturer will support DOS drivers. Ed Fair

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.
