Hi all,
I've been messing around with my Power Macintosh 6100 DOS compatibility card and have run into an issue finding an image of the CD-ROM that allegedly includes some additional drivers that were not included on the floppies (or were included on floppy in some versions?). Information I have found thus far online has been a bit unclear. There might not even be a CD, but Apple's own documentation seems to reference one.
For example, the following post shows no CD in the box contents, but seems to include many more floppies than I've found imaged online.
I have the "official" set of 1.6.4 and 2.1.7f from Apple, but they don't seem to include enough of what I need.
I have sound working via generic Soundblaster 16 stuff, mouse is OK in Windows and DOS (used generic drivers). My big challenge is in the video department. I can't seem to find compatible VESA drivers for the video card. I've even tried various versions of UniVBE with no luck. Certain versions detect it, others won't detect. The ones that detect it have crashed in random and weird ways when I've tried to use them. The card is apparently a Chips and Technologies 82c450 (sometimes nicknamed the 450), I've found sites that reference the chip on this card as a 65xxx but I can't seem to get 65535 or other drivers to work either. I also can't seem to find Windows 3.1 or 98 drivers. I was, however, able to get Windows 95 going in 640x480 at 256 colors (but nothing higher).
I wanted to go spelunking around the depths of the Internet Archive, but can't seem to figure out what C&T's domain name was to see if they had some drivers available. I've also tried finding other systems that utilized this video chip and had some success finding files, however none of them worked when I tried using them. (Specifically the Toshiba LC110
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
