Amazing. No drivers for the 870 in NT3.5? 
There is for NT4.0 and I believe it also works for the 850.  It's in a
file called NT4DSK2.EXE on the Microsoft website (www.microsoft.com).
Based on this, I would be surprised if there weren't drivers for Nt3.5.
The latest version of their website isn't the easiest to get around in,
but you need to search the Knowledge Base. I think with some persistence
you will find the driver you need.
