OK, but the Vantage is a Mach 8 Video-Adapter, compatible to the IBM 8514.
It's a good solution to work with the 8514-driver. Warp finds this adapter  
and everythink runs fine. In difference to the VGA Wonder, the 8514 is a  
graphical coprocessor. So the resolution is 1024by768 and the refresh- 
rates are ok (I think it was about 70Hz at 1024x768). The System is quiet  
fast (ok, it's an ISA-Card :-( ) . WIth 512 K on the 8514-Side of the  
adapter (it has an ATI VGA Wonder onboard, too) it's the limit of 16  
colours at 1024x768. If You want more, give'm 512K more. (normal DIL RAMS  
414256-80)

My System runs from OS/2 2.0 beta until today with the Vantage and the  
Ultra (Same card with VRAMs). There were no conflicts.

Bye
Andreas
