	HiNote Ultra II patch area (www) and SciTech Display Doctor V5.3a.

	Hmmm....I always file a problem report when having problems, I NEVER
	leave serious customer problems to be solved in Notes (only), but
	when MCS seemed to be stuck, I decided to try Notes as well!

	MCS's answer was something like: There is no known solution to this
	problem. Do not expect this to be solved anytime soon, but you can
	always try finding proper combination of different drivers yourself.

	Well, I managed to find the (almost) working configuration, but
	now I have same problem that someone else has seen when using C&T
	drivers instead of DIGITAL provided drivers. Namely now when
	customer tries to start DOS window, the whole display gets
	scrambled to odd graphic shapes and colors. It seems like either
	the display memory gets corrupted or DOS window changes the graphics
	mode to something that chips doesn't support???

	If I weren't that busy I am right now, I would pusg our MCS to put
	real effort to solve this...but now it means just the this problem
	just exists until I will find more time to help with it (4-6 weeks
	from now maybe).

	Well, I could still use hints (if available) how to get DOS window
	work correctly with C&T drivers???

2220.6Could be better now, I hope...NAMIX::jptFIS and ChipsWed May 28 1997 09:5310
	Just to update:

	Currently all known problems have been solved with 
	win95141 kit from www.chips.com

	I hope we'll get no further problems... Thanks for those who
	had good suggestions and guesses.
