Hello, is there a place to get the Paradise PEGA2 drivers/utilities? My card uses the PEGA2A chipset:



I grabbed the PEGA.ZIP file from here: http://www.oldskool.org/guides/oldonnew/resources but only text mode "resolution" change utilities work - PEGA.EXE just crashes and I assume it is because it was meant to be used with the PEGA1 chipset.
Any help/tips will be appreciated, thanks! :)
 
well the driver disk has drivers for some productivity software of the day (not interested in them) but also comes with a utility that configures the card and locks it in various modes like cga, mda, hercules... I want to check that :D
 
See attached. I found it in a Unisys-branded version of MS-DOS 3.30.

^ thanks , this one runs but doesn't actually do anything...



I selected "Set CGA/MDA Mode" , it does something and the selection moves automatically to "Exit to DOS". Then tried to run commander keen and it detected EGA just fine - so I assume the cga/mda mode select did not work...
 
I have a card with the same chip (I think) but I couldn't find any driver in more than one year.

I had to rewrite the BIOS chip because my card displayed cyrillic alphabet.
