Have not seen a driver CD for that motherboard but do know it came out in 2002 and Win NT4 is not on it's full support list. Win9x, Win ME, Win2k and XP are on the full list....
There's one on the Bay which supposedly supports this nForce baord - search for the board model + the Asus CD code which is M261
Yes I had seen that on ebay ....
what put me off was the cost which with shipping from the US to the UK was very high...plus not available atm 'the seller is away until 17th aug'..
What gave me hope the CD might help me with NT was this text snippet referring to the network/chipset I found on the net
"Realtek RTL8139/810x Family 10/100M Ethernet Controller User's Guide for Windows NT
