Does anyone know where to find a repository of old 3DLabs Permedia 3 and Oxygen drivers? I am hoping to locate driver versions older than what are available on 3dlabs website.

Tried the Wayback Machine? I've had decent luck finding older 3DL drivers both on their site and through board OEMs like Diamond and Symmetric in the past.

Yes. I get to a registration page. Even if I fill in the registration information, I do not get to a valid downloads section of the website. Perhaps you have a direct link?

The links here seem to all start downloads, but I didn't check every single one:

Try here for Oxygen (you didn't specify which model):

Or here:

Can go a few years previous, but Permedia3 and the Oxygen series didn't exist then (has Permedia2 and Glint products though):

I was looking for drivers which were a little older. The Permedia3 and Oxygen arrived around Summer of 1999. The oldest archived 3dlabs website which allows for the download of Oxygen and Permedia3 drivers is March 2000, however I cannot get past the "fill out this form before downloading" page.

For example, https://web.archive.org/web/20000309043705/ht … ers/oxygen.html

Yes that form is basically a dead-end because it can never return whatever it needs to return thru the Archive. Why do you need drivers so old?

Also, *which* Oxygen card are you trying to find drivers for? (There is not a singular Oxygen - it's a product line that predates 3DLabs branding).

The ones i attached to my previous post are for Permedia 3 and the Readme is dated 06/17/1999. You might want to try them...
