This is the development home for the Panorama video driver project for eComStation. The Panorama project is funded by Mensys.

Panorama is a VESA BIOS enabler driver. Panorama uses the system's VESA BIOS to provide access to and control the video hardware.
Panorama will only work on systems with a VESA BIOS version 2.0 or higher.

Please read the [http://88watts.net/download/PanoramaReadMe.txt readme] before installing and using this software.

If you have previously used a wide screen enabler driver it is recommended that you set your screen resolution to a 
standard resolution such as 800x600, 1024x768, or 1280x1024 before installing this new Panorama. After you reboot with
the new Panorama you can then choose the resolution you want.
