There are some Western Digital chipsets supported in the Vibrant drivers – PVGA1, 90C00, 90C11, 90C30, 90C31, & 90C33. Try running MSD.EXE to see if it reports the chipset on your card. Let us know if this works out! Good luck.

Hi Nik! Thanks for the comeback. Actually I haven't put the board in the computer yet as it's this computer! My problem is I've got to take the board back out it it doesn't work and reinstall the old one every time I want to use this machine for BBS's or CIS, therefore I'm trying to get all this lined up before I start operating on this older machine. <g> I have the luxury of actually looking at the board. the Western Digital Chipset smack dab in the middle of the board is stamped with: WDC WD90C30-LR 00-02 9305 B 26910A1-3501 01 There is another chip on board that is just stamped "VGA" and One more with: Winbond W82c487-80 251QAF922E1 There's one MB on Board and a few other IC's but that's the important stuff. <BG> I'm pretty sure the 3DS Vibrant Drivers will work based on what you just told me however I still need the Windows Drivers because I have to be at 1024 X 768. Thanks! Murph'

James, >> I still need the Windows Drivers because I have to be at 1024 X 768. You can download a set of Windows drivers for this chipset if you GO MSL. Or let me know, and I'll email them to you. John

John I haven't had much luck trying to navigate the MSL as I'm not sure what Acronyms I need to do the search. I tried "Western Digital" also "Drivers" and got nowhere. I'd be very greatful if you could E-Mail those to me. Thank you Very Much. James M. Murphy
