56 I need new drivers. Is there an Internet ftp/web site for my video card?
It's pointless for me to try to maintain a list of on-line services, since they change so frequently, and others are already doing it! Please refer to:
comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware FAQ in sections 9.6 and 9.7. This FAQ is posted monthly to c.s.i.p.h.* groups, and is available via FTP from: rtfm.mit.edu in /pub/usenet/comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.systems and its mirrors. http://www.rust.net/~frankc/ : List of Windows95 drivers and updates
Here's a list of ftp sites for video card vendors on the 'net for those too lazy to look up the other sources. For a larger list of video related WWW sites including vendors and information, refer to:
http://www.heartlab.rri.uwo.ca/vidfaq/vendors.html
Most major vendors' www sites are listed there.
