I have just received Win 3.1 drivers for ET4000 card dated May 27, 1992.
Are these drivers archived anyway? If not, should I upload them somewhere?
(Included drivers are up to 1280*1024*16 res, 32K Hicolor, 65K Hicolor, as
well as ETTURBO drivers for up to 800*600*256 Colors. The ETTURBO drivers
seems to be faster than the normal ones, as the screen update is "fade-out-
fade-in" rather than the normal "clear-&-paint" sequence.)
