I'm looking for Windows for Workgroups 3.11 drivers for this card... Tried the Trio64V+ drivers from the S3 legacy driver page, but I get a "Universal Draw Handler" error from it in the control panel.
This is the card that has the S3 Trio64V+ chip. This is NOT the same as "Diamond Stealth64 Graphics 2001", which sports the ARK2000 graphics chip.

This image shows the exact same card that I have:

I can recommend this card for DOS builds w/ PCI. Excellent DOS support, and great picture quality.
I dumped the v1.06 ROM if someone wants to update theirs (make sure it's the exact same card): http://16-bits.org/etc/ftupci765tv_1_06.bin

Thanks!

Alright I found it, finally! From diamondlegacy.com through waybackmachine... I uploaded it here: http://16-bits.org/etc/ftupci765tv_win31x_drv.zip
Extracted from 765219a.exe and 765219b.exe "Stealth64 Video 2xx1 Windows 3.1x drivers v2.19"

EDIT:
kixs: I'll have a look if the one in that CD is newer.

Yup, the one on the CD is v2.20, the one I linked was 2.19. Thanks! Will test it out.
EDIT: Works, but I still get "Can't load Universal Draw Handler" when I open Drivers in Control Panel.. I reinstall Win3.11 every time then install the driver. Weird!

Since I started using a Trio3D/2x vga in my SS7 I installed wfw3.11 and also got that "Can't load Universal Draw Handler" error. I did a bit of googling and found this post :

I figured it out.

S3's drivers install an additional driver "Universal Draw Handler" (UDH.dll). Without VfW that driver is pointless and won't load. It's used for offscreen surfaces in VfW.

I removed it in VGA mode, switched back to S3's 1024@16.7M via setup.exe and now it works. UDH was re-added after switching, but there are no further issues (so far).
The file is not damaged or anything, Win just can't load it and that seems to be a problem in first place, but not after my procedure.

I'm happy now.

just adding that info so it is searchable here as well - installing "Media Player 5.2beta for win3.1x" fixed that error 😊
