Another great tip from langa.com
<<You can look up old drivers for defunct out of business
hardware manufactures, or even old news, and stock reports etc:
Archive.org
Case in point: This site allows you to browse the Internet as
it used to be a long time ago. While they possibly can't hold
the entire web, they DO have www.3dfx.com and
www.3dfxgamers.com as they used to peacefully exist in the
past ! And best of all: On what's got to be over a hundred
"snapshots of time", many Links seem to work, allowing access
to files long thought lost !
I'd thought the WayBack site was mostly useful for reading old web-page
content. I had no idea some old downloads were there, too!
Coverage seems to be a bit spotty, but where it works, it's great. To
pick up on Tim's example, you can use the Wayback site to download a
version of the 3Dfx D3D ("Voodoo") drivers as they existed on 1/30/97.
If you're working on an older machine, access to files like this could
be a real timesaver.>>
