So, I've been trying to get the above mentioned card going on my retro setup for a couple of weeks off and on. I've hunted down drivers in Win95, Win98, and WinNT flavors. I cannot get the thing going in 98SE. After driver install and restarting, the system pauses on a black screen with mouse cursor in the center. This occurs using the 98 drivers and the 95 drivers. I've also tried a fresh 98 install and another attempt with ME. I have gotten the card functioning in XP using the drivers supplied by Microsoft, but still no joy in 98SE where I'd prefer to use the card.

Since the Number Nine Card is a Savage4 chipset, I've also attempted to use S3's reference drivers for 98. Still no go. I've given up and gone ahead and put back in my Radeon SDR. Great card, but its DOS support is spotty. (can't run TIE Fighter Collector's CD in 640x480 for ex.)

So, any ideas? Could it be an AGP issue with the PC Chips board? Next thing I'll likely try is a 98 setup with a different board to rule it out. Problem is it would be a new build and I'm not up to it just yet. Anyway, thanks for any input anyone can provide.
