No, these are the drivers from 05-29-90, which are called 

              PRELIMINARY
   TSENG ET4000 DRIVER INSTALLATION
       FOR MICROSOFT WINDOWS 3.0

in the WIN30.DOC file contained in the TSENG4K.ZIP archive available on
cica.cica.indiana.edu. The archive contains the following files:

According to my friend who has the Tseng MEGA VGA 1024 card with the ET4000
chip, these drivers work in all three modes on his 386 machine.  My own
Optima 1024 uses the Tseng ET3000 chip and is of course not supported
by these drivers. Fortunately, by mixing driver parts from Eizo with
driver parts from Orchid (both available on cica.cica.indiana.edu) I
finally got a working 256 color driver, which runs in all three modes
on *my* card.
