ATI Rage II PCI drivers

[sundev]

Can anyone point me to a website or something that has drivers for a ATI Rage II PCI card? I can't find it, been looking for over an hour. It has to be somewhere... www.ati.com doesn't seem to have anything except Rage Pro, Rage 128, and Rage XL drivers.

Oh yeah I need them for Windows XP.

Thanks to anyone who finds it!

have u tried guru3d.com?

 

[sundev]

Yup. Not there...

Hmm.. Maybe google it?

 

[sundev]

Tried Googling.. that's what I spent over an hour doing. Nothing downloadable (that worked).

The frustrating part is that I got the card working before somehow, but now it won't. The built-in WinXP drivers don't do it.

i *think* the rage-xl driver work with the rageI/rageII too (both are mach64 chips)

 

[kobymu]

try the rage-pro driver too (it has a wider support: ALL-IN-WONDER PRO,RAGE PRO and RAGE XL)
BUT NOT THE RAGE128/128-PRO (completely different chips) !

Nope, none of those worked (including the XL driver). Maybe I need to update the motherboard chipset drivers or something?

Haha Kensai yeah I should get a new video card... but why when I have a perfectly good one already with a massive 2MB VRAM?
