| 156130 | 2003-06-29 09:32:00 | Could someone please tell me the name or home page address of the manufacturer of s3 trio video cards. I wish to update a driver for one but don't know the site. A web search brought up s3technologies.com but I was denied access to the page. There is also a s3graphics.com but that doesn't seem to be related. TIA |

| 156133 | 2003-06-29 11:13:00 | The S3 drivers should be built into Windows - well they are on Win2K. I'm pretty sure they changed the company name - I have a S3 ViRGE DX in my P233MMX machine and the driver has a different name and then S3 ViRGE DX/GX in brackets. Maybe Diamond. | HadO (796) | ||

You can do this by removing the card from your machine and locating the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) number on the card. Look for the letters FCC. You'll find some information here freepctech.com and the actual database site here. www.fcc.gov Try a Google search on "FCC lookup" for more information. There's a very good site with some excellent help out there, but alas my memory is frail... The FCC Lookup is a very useful technique to locate drivers for all kinds of elderly equipment.

Use the site name (up and including the "/") to reach the site, and work down their directory structure. The following directory names you got from the search are often a guide to which buttons/labels to click on. Or use the search facility of the site. |
