Not for my card. I remember how I downloaded these drivers back in 2000, when they added DirectX 5 support for my card. Now I bought the same one. 😀 I found the DataExpert drivers CD, it has everything I need.

DSV6422, Alliance ProMotion 6422 chip. I remember how badly I wanted 2Mb of VRAM and wanted to test QNX/Photon (it required VBE 2.0 that was supported only through UniVBE).

I have a bunch of PCI videocards on different chips, want to play a little bit with VBE/AF, maybe some benchmarks. And some VRAM chips for sure, now I'm fully packed 😀

As for disk, I found it here: https://archive.org/details/expertcolorid710221i

There are two more. but I've seen one of them on Vogons Drivers section.

Actually the drivers are on the archive of the website: http://web.archive.org/web/19970201214658/htt … driver/dsv6422/
and 6422dwnt.zip are the same as on that cd..

That's really strange. I was lurking Wayback Machine for a day or so, probably trying more recent and non-working links.

Thanks, I found the new BIOSes there I am going to try.

Also I found this page - https://driverzone.com/drivers/alliance (EDIT: available only through archive - http://web.archive.org/web/*/https://driverzo … ivers/alliance* )

It has drivers for OS/2 (also available through Archive). Now I have full list of drivers that were provided with my card.

So funny, OS names that were completely unknown to me back then liks SCO Unix or OS/2 are now possible to install 😀
