I saw the link for the new vortex a3d drivers at saturn. spaceports. com/`a3dfan/. This link is broken. Do you have a link to these new drivers that works? Thanks. .

ATI Radion owners - Win2k issues?

BladeRunner
Hello people, I have a need to bring in some more machines at work. We have sourced some good higher-end machines but they contain ATI Radion cards. This is obviously different from the usual Matrox G400, ATI Rage Pro, NVidia based systems we normally buy in.

Beta1 and hpt366 controller

Shrink
Does anyone know whether Beta1 has support built-in for the highpoint controller (on a BE6-II mobo)? In other words, do I need to F6 during setup or will it be automatically detected? I understand that the Promise Ultra66 is automatically detected.
