- FILES ON THE MICROSOFT DOWNLOAD BBS
-
- Here at Win*Net we attempt to distribute up-to-date display drivers
- from time to time in the WIN_DRVR files area. We can't, however,
- distribute *all* updates to *all* drivers, since these files tend to
- be so large and improvements and re-releases often just have incremental
- changes. Hundreds of sysops pay long-distance charges to distribute
- Win*Net files, and many don't have the patience or money to keep abreast
- of all the latest drivers.
-
- Microsoft itself maintains a BBS for download of updated driver files for
- printers, network cards, video cards and so forth. It is reached by
- calling (206) 936-6735. Access is free, and there is a much wider selection
- of driver files than is possible on Win*Net.
-
- The files in this archive are:
-
- WDL.TXT
-
- This is a listing, as of 11/16/92, of files available from the Microsoft
- BBS, as well as a listing of the various types of hardware these files
- work with.
-
- UPDATE.TXT
-
- This is a "log" of changes to the various driver files, indicating what
- sorts of updates have been performed.
-
-
- Don't forget to leave a "thank you" comment to the sysop! This is a
- terrific service for Microsoft to offer.
-
- Of course, various hardware manufacturers may have more recent or
- specialized proprietary drivers for their cards, and many of them
- maintain their own BBS system for distribution of these files.
