Is there anyone who can help me with this driver: (also the text file could be usefull.)

s540extreme_w9x_0301.exe

I found information on the original site.. But the file was hosted by an FTP server.. This server is down.
Perhaps one of the users can provide me this driver, couldnt found anything on the internet.. I hope someone has it stored on his computer..

Please let me know if someone can help..I want to upload the driver package to vogonsdrivers.com.

~ At least it can do black and white~

I've had no luck finding an ftp archive for Diamond drivers. Having access to this would be fantastic considering how important they were on the hardware scene ca 2000. However, word is that you can use the generic S3 Savage4 drivers with no problem.

Well, either here
ftp://retronn.de/driver/Diamond/
or on the SuperCD here:
ftp://retronn.de/driver/Diamond/cd_images/ (however 1996 may be too early)
or S3:
ftp://retronn.de/driver/S3/

Thanks, but where did you find it?

I used google, yahoo, bing, filewatch, but really nothing..

Are the S3 Savage 4 drivers better? Always thought that the original drivers where fine tuned specially for that graphics card.

One of the results points to a listing for a magazine cover CD: http://www.kultcds.com/Catalog/index.php?n=18 … ares$2Fcartes3D
Getting the .iso for that particular disc was easy on a french old magazines archive website.
