I have a set of drivers for the Matrox MG 108.

But I have tried to then them to you 4 times.

First all driver disk's in one mail.

Second mail was a mail where i split the files in 3 seperate mails.

But no matter what I do. I get a message rejected.

Regards Niels

I wendt to the Matrox site. Unlike IBM, they keep the files for the
older products available, UNLIKE IBM.

I can't believe I did the whole thing.

Win 3.1, NT 3.1 and 3.5, OS/2 PM 2.1, DOS and Autocad. A Win 95 utility
which MIGHT support the Impression and the grey scale driver for Win 3.1

And on the sixth day, he rested.

Hi Louis,
> ...Idle hands are the devil's playground, I must be an amusement park.
As long as you don't treat yourself as one. Oh, you said your hands are
idle. Just dropping word that there may have been a little trouble
authenticating to your webspace (FTP, probably not browsing) this morning,
which may also happen on Tuesday morning.
Bad news is the upgrades to our network didn't go so well this morning.
Good news is I cleared some other dead user directories consuming space, so
I can have the backup tapes run every day now (even the weekends). Still
awaiting word on whether you will pick up the offered domain for me to host.

Great service. PDFs of manuals and check first the "Latest" drivers and
"Unified" drivers section. For the older models, for NT 4.0 the latest is
3.68a, for OS/2 Warp is 2.58.

Although NT has a built-in support for some Matrox cards, identified by
"Matrox" in the selection box, the Matrox drivers, identified as "Matrox
Graphics", are faster, and contain also the Matrox PowerDesk. Install the
driver in the current NT mode and not in the VGA mode by booting up to NT
[VGA mode]. Run setup.exe from the Matrox package, that will install the
PowerDesk.

For OS/2 Warp, use 96 points/inch font for smaller fonts, 120 points makes
them too big on a 17" monitor.

BTW, has anyone used the Media XL connector of Matrox Millenium for video
in/out, composite or Y-C ?

i do not, but i believe there are a few places that still have them
online. one i know for sure is ebay (1 or 2 pop up a month for about
$5). as for the matrox graphics drivers, i can honestly say the ones
with the powerdesk are the best i've seen for that timeframe. the
regualr drivers are good, but with the added support, they excelled and
left other cards of the timeframe in the dust. i worked for a
consulting firm back in the late 90's to 2003 and half of the small and
mid-sized businesses we worked with were engineering and architecture
firms. unless it was an nvidia quadro, they almost always used the
matrox. best damned cards for what they needed. i was impressed too. i
just wish they kept up with ati and nvidia. they made some awesome
cards for their time as well. once, talking to one of the matrox
engineers at a trade show in nyc, he hinted that they were going to
make an mca 16mb card, but it was scrapped because of the overhead for
mapping, etc. they just rolled it out for pci and later for agp when
agp came around.

Everyone,

If in the future you need to share files such as these with other
PS/2'ers, I freely offer my ftp server for your use. That's kind of why
it's there anyway. :)

The ftp URL is

ftp://ps2supersite.homedns.org

When sharing, please make yourself a directory under /incoming named
after yourself, you'll see some already there. That way everything
stays nice and neat. :)

For example, for myself, I'd create /incoming/daniel.hamilton

One further note: If you do use the ftp and create yourself a
directory, please do not make the directory start with a number... I
have a cron job that deletes anything in /incoming that starts with a
number every hour. FTP leech scanners make folders such as those, so I
decided to automate the cleanup. :)
