I have a MacPicasso 340 NUBUS Card and I am searching for the 68k drivers.
Thanks

Have you tried the MacPicasso 340 in a 68k mac? Do the drivers provide 2D and quicktime acceleration?dir_marillion, Unknown_K has provided the correct link. But if you have any trouble accessing the files, I have the drivers myself and could get them to you.
Kaye (of MacGurus last time I checked) and I did some testing way back when and posted the results on the PowerWatch forums (which are gone). Our tests were performed in PPC NuBus Macs. Our results were that the MacPicasso and Radius Thunder IV GX (1152, 1360, 1600 and Thunder 24/GT) were pretty much tied as fastest NuBus video card available, BUT they were tops in different categories of MacBench. Also, while they beat out the Apple HPV card in a few categories, by and large the HPV card (goes in the PDS slot) provides the very best video performance on NuBus PPC Macs. The AV card is significantly slower than the HPV card.Umm you'll probably get better performance if you can find a Radius PrecisionColor/PrecisionColorPro/LeMans (LeMans is the best), or a Radius/RasterOps Thunder IV. These cards have good 68K drivers.
The significance of the MacPicasso is that they're the only cards for Nubus PPC Macs with 3D acceleration. Still, the AV/HPV cards of Nubus PPC (33/40Mhz clocks vs. 10Mhz in Nubus) are faster than any Nubus Video Cards for 2D performance.
