Hi NG,

I have a �D-Blaster RivaTNT2 Vanta 32mb graphics card which seems to have
the wrong BIOS in it, the card is marked CT6950 however the card boot screen
shows CT6954.

This graphics card was working fine until the former owner updated the BIOS
with the one from the CDRom disc and now in BIOS screens, DOS prompt screens
I only get monochrome (16 levels of grey).  Does anyone know where the
original BIOS would be located on the Creative site, or have it to hand?

All assistance appreciated,

TheDoc
