how was the 3D Patience? was the 3D in order or was that still a problem?

This is an intersting problem, I wonder if IBM done something with the card it's self, so it would not cope in other systems only in IBM's.  I'm just think'n out loud.

So I was thinking like If they were meant for IBM, why not test one on an old IBM system from week 46 year 200 to match the card's age and PC brand for what it was meant for, maybe then it might work okay. I hope this is a way of solving this wicked little critter
