If your using a #9 card, which you prolly are, if yer using S3 Trio, try 
ftp.nine.com/pub/trio or one of the other directories for your specific 
card type

S3 Corp have a Web site at:

http://www.s3.com

You can download drivers from there. 

BTW: Generally speaking, we have found the S3 cards to be not as stable as
they might be. Still, try your luck.

The Sydney OS/2 BBS has the latest version (I think) 
of the S3 Trio Drivers for OS/2.  Its version 2.81 from memory, and
I just installed it and works fine, except it seems
to not have improved much from v2.80.6.

Cheers,
Randy

A new set of S3 drivers appeared on Hobbes (hobbes.nmsu.edu/incoming)
during the past week.  From what I've heard they're fantastic in
comparison to previous S3 drivers.  I'm not sure which specific
chipsets they support, though.

I have had a large number of problems using these video drivers - the best
ones I have found so far are from the IBM OS/2 Warp software repository on
the Internet - they come on two disk.

I am using these drivers on my Stealth 64 Card - as there are no native
ones that come with it - Anyone know how to increase the refresh rate

IBM has an excellent software/drivers repository at

http://www.pc.ibm.com/files.html

Do a search for Trio64 and you will find the drivers.

As far as the Diamond drivers, the diamond ftp site has them all

ftp://ftp.diamondmm.com/pub/display/...

It is true that Diamond do not ship the OS/2 drivers with the card, but 
you can get them without much difficulty.

Because it states drivers for OS/2  2.1 & 3.0 ?
