Hi Stephen,

Fear not!

Check out www.driverguide.com

Also, do a search on Infind (www.infind.com) for "8514 driver" with or 
without the quotes.

Sorry to be so brusque today, but I *have* to get some revenue producing work 
done!

P.S.  What type of "P.Eng." are you?

wonder whether the same might be done for us (very few) benighted
possessors of the IBM 8514 and that mysterious but impressive 8514/a
Microchannel (I know; totally defunct today) 9-inch x 3-inch card.

I have both hooked up to my PS/2 386 25mHz 120mB HD (doublespaced)
with 16mB RAM, and continue to delight in what this mere VGA can do for
me in Win, WP5.2-for-Win (strangely nobody ever talks about this
oddity), Lotus 4.2 spreadsheet program, and that Lotus Organizer
v1.1 that cannot look or book beyond 31Dec00 and thus destined to die.

What a travesty that Arachne boots for me merely as a bigger version
of a basic 386 with VGA, losing all those touted benefits of TOOLBAR
etc.  I mentioned this a few weeks ago, but all I got was that only
King Michael could (easily) include the magic 8514 driver had he a
mind to at little cost to bloat.  Maybe v6 has it, but I don't count
on it because my 8514 constituency must be comparitively microscopic
by now.

For those who thought that FreeNetters would become incommunicado Jan 1,
well, here voluble Howard Eisenberger and I are!  And while we are
here together with all those Arachnid gurus who are constantly pushing
the envelope beyond expectations, maybe there are a few who could spare
the time to enlighten (along 9517 lines) the 8514ers trapped among them.

Yours, Aye,

Stephen.<<
