[comp.windows.ms] Trident 8900 800x600x256 Driver

Good day netters:

I recently bought a Trident Super VGA board with 1MB.  But to my surprise,
it didn't come with the 800x600x256 driver.  I looked in the OEMSETUP.INI
(on one of the supplied disks) file and found the following:
...
...
[display]
; vga	= 1:vga.drv,	"VGA",					"100,96,96",
w800	= 6:w800.drv,	"Trident TVGA 800x600 16-color",	"100,96,96",
w1024	= 6:w1024.drv,	"Trident TVGA 1024x768 16-color",	"100,96,96",
t480	= 6:t480.drv,	"Trident TVGA 640x480 256-color",	"100,96,96",
; t800	= 6:t800.drv,	"Trident TVGA8900 800x600 256-color",	"100,96,96",
t1024	= 6:t1024.drv,	"Trident TVGA8900 1024x768 256-color",	"100,96,96",
...
...

It looks like there is an 800x600x256 driver available (but it's commented
out).  Does anyone know where I can get a copy of this driver, or one that
is compatible with the Trident TVGA board?  If it's available from Trident
Microsystems, can someone give me the address?  If someone knows where it
can be found via anonymous ftp, that would also work.

Thanks in advance,

Dan Michon
