Was it the latest (gcc-compiled) dhrystone v2.1 benchmark ?
If not, please get it from my Web site and retry... ;-)

This makes QPC2v2 on Athlon 1000 faster than my Turbo-QXL (the
35MHz one: 23364 Dhrystones/s, 9 VAX Mips, 21,8 BogoMips) in
integer calculations. QPC2v2 will still be slower for programs
using the FPU though (mainly POV and ghostscript).

QDOS/SMS forever !

You're the second with problems with the Voodoo 3 card... I suspect
the drivers are really ... bad. It seems there's not much I can do I'm
afraid. Hopefully they're fixing the problems, but as 3dfx is no more
I'm not sure whether they still work on it.

   - I really enjoy the DOSx_ device, but could it be possible for it
 to indicate bigger than 2GB size ? (I'm on fat32/W98 with current 
 disk size (from 1GB to 15 GB)

Sure, it can (and does) indicate everything up to 4GB (more is not
possible). But QL applications are not really prepared for such big
values.

   - Is there any way that the sound system use my sound card instead 
 of the tiny speaker ?

Not yet.

  - Prowess loads in 65536 colours, but output seems to wrap... 
Did I miss something ? Do I need a not yet existing driver ?

Yes, the latest 16-bit driver is still broken. But my knowledge of the
code is far too limited to fix it myself.

  - Could it be possible to have more memory than 16 Mega for QPC2 ?
(32 would be fine, 64 a dream... I have 256 Mega of Windows memory,
so even with windows doing a lot of caching, I think 16 is a 
very short limit...)

Enter it in the field. You don't need to restrict yourself to the
dropdown list. Everything up to 256MB is possible.

It's really a pity that the QXL was designed with a so bad interface with
the PC world (even the latest version did not satisfy me at all)
