I sold mine last week and do not miss it or the indiosynchratic behaviour a bit. I never even installed the drivers for PremPro 2.
I bet the new card still insists on the “wrong” field order because the ‘Blue Book’ says so.
I have now thoroughly tested PremPro 2 (Matrox Free) and I am rapt in the performance and stability and of course everything else works – eg safe titles, and zoomeable monitors etc
