You can use the power under Linux and display 256 colours under X though!

The problem with the 755C(D) is not the processor, it is the video. These machines run great with Win 3.11, but IBM and WD never wrote a W95 video driver, and the Microsoft video driver stinks. If you take a 755CD, and switch back and forth between 16 bit color and 256 color, the difference is amazing!
I think this just does not pay!
