|t640c.drv       38560   5-01-91  4:32p
|t800-5.drv      38818   5-29-91 12:09p
|t800c.drv       38544   5-01-91  4:32p
|t1024c.drv      38540   5-01-91  4:32p
|t1024fc.drv     38703   5-01-91  4:33p
|w800.drv        42493   6-08-90  3:18p
|w1024c.drv      45041   5-01-91  3:55p
|w1024fc.drv     45231   5-01-91  3:57p

|with the exception of the 640-480x256 color mode, I've tried all of them,

I agree. I use the drivers that came with my Diamond Speedstar and
all is well. 

Now though... I run at 800x600x256 and the speed is NOT mind-numbing.
I don't see why Trident hasn't come out with a better chipset.. they've
had long enough to do it surely. But then I suppose most people aren't
savvy enough to know better when buying a machine...
