- I'm currently investigating the usefullness of Win-NT but have already
- some problems with the video drivers. In my machine is a Trident 8900
- installed with 1MB of RAM. I'm now in search for drivers to use this
- card with NT in the 256color mode. A try to install the 3.1 drivers didn't
- work. Does anybody know where I can obtain such drivers?
- Many thanks in advance

- 3.1 drivers do not work with NT. At this point, unless you find a
- driver included with NT you are probably out of luck. Try contacting
- Trident, but most manufacturers of older cards are not going to the
- expense of writing NT drivers for them. You can use the generic
- 640x480 16 color driver, but you will need to either wait and see if a
- new driver is written or buy another card in order to use 256 colors.
-
- Another source for NT stuff is at ftp.uu.net in the /vendors/microsoft
- directory.
