| MEB,
| No, I didn't install the chipset driver as I could not find one. I do
| not believe they have a 98SE driver for the nVidia Nf4 Ultra chipset. I
tried

compatible

with
| the nVidia Nf4 Ultra chipset?

| Thanks, Bob

Thought that might work, that's what I was directed to at the main Taiwan
site. Found some others that had people TRYING to get it to work, but
nothing I would direct you to as THE answer.
All the other sites [mirrors or other nation Biostar sites] do NOT have
drivers for 9X, the systems supported are 2000, XP, and VISTA.
You could try on some of the tweak or mod sites like MSFN Or Tom's Harware
to see if anyone found something or modified files for it..
