Hi vogons,
Seem to be going round in circles on finding any user modded Win98 drivers for anything above Radeon X8x0... many "Fastest ATI that works in 98" threads end up at X850 "unless there are modded drivers" or "look for modded drivers" but I am turning up nothing whatsoever.
So were there any? Am I searching the wrong thing, looking for catalyst when I should go with a name like omega or redsoftware?? (Though I've checked those and seem to be drawing blank there too)
Seems to be very low activity on this compared to nVidia, wondering if there was a particular defunct site that lost a chunk of knowledge, but site searches against those still around like Rage3D.com where I thought such activity might exist, are blanking too.
Anyway, looking for definite knowledge to get any later ATI cards working, be it hacked from catalysts, be patches or other mods or whatever. Not building a really real win98 system, but more like a Core2 retro-ish utility box, that I was hoping could lean backwards into 98 a touch, but video seems to be a problem for that.
Actually I wouldn't mind knowing about 2D drivers that gave you decent res and color depth, even if 3D is no go.
Thanks if you are able to contrib some knowledge...
