Hi Paul!

I am curious here.  Are these "drivers" inserted at the BIOS level?
If so, they may be worth pursuing.

Just a thought.

If they would work under DR. DOS or similar UBCD might be useful (scary though).

If not, frankly one of my LTGs is to run XP in a virtual window through linux.

Have fun!

Tod
