Do you have suggestions as to where I could look to find some that
would work? I've searched the web, but haven't found anything that
specifically states it would work with nt4. When it comes to 9x, the
earliest I found are drivers that would supposedly work with win98,
and when it comes to nt, the earliest drivers I found are ones which
would work with win2k.

I thought that the specs for that chipset were proprietary also, and
that in order to emulate that hardware, innotek would have needed to
have license rights to do so. If that is the case, then if innotek can
emulate the hardware, it should also be possible to distribute
proprietary drivers for the proprietary hardware. Am I wrong here?
Also, the guest additions cd includes drivers for the amd pcnet
card. Aren't those proprietary?
