I've just suffered a failure of my Trident 8900D video card, and
have had to reinstall my elderly (about 5 years old) Compudyne
VGA 1024 video card into my PC.  The card uses (I think) the
ET4000 chip, and has 512k of video RAM on board.

The disk that came with the card when I bought it in the USA in
1991 includes a driver for Windows 3.0; it'll give 640 x 480 x
256, 800 x 600 x 16 and (interlaced) 1024 x 768 x 16.  I've set
it up to the 800 x 600 mode (under Win 3.1), and have found that
the font size is undesirably large when compared to the Trident
card.

Does anyone know of any ftp or Web sites where I might find some
more recent drivers either specifically for the Compudyne card
or generically for the ET4000 chip?  Ideally I'd like to get
back to using 800 x 600 x 256, with a smaller font.

TIA,
