I saw a message posted earlier, but didn't see any responses. I was wondering if anyone out there knew of a TIGA driver available for Windows 3.0. I have a Number Nine PEPPER Pro1024 board with a 34010 on it and 1MB of RAM. Any leads would be greatly appreciated. Michael Miller miller@desolate.unl.edu

With regards to the requests for TIGA drivers for Windows 3... I have a Hercules Graphics Station Card (a 34010 board) and the appropriate TIGA drivers for it. I don't know how hardware specific these drivers are, however. Should the TIGA drivers for the HGSC work with any TIGA board? For those of you who feel adventerous, you can call the Hercules BBS at (415) 540-6719 (9600 baud) or (415) 540-0621 (2400 baud) and try their drivers. Note that I don't know what the copyright issues regarding these drivers are. If Hercules actually owns their Windows driver, they probably won't be too thrilled about people who don't own HGSCs using them. However, if the drivers are actually written by TI and Hercules just distributes them, I suppose it might be ok for anyone with a TIGA board to use them. Keep this in mind if you call the Hercules BBS. I don't mean to be promoting software piracy.

Actually, if Hercules makes them available on their BBS to anyone who calls, there can be no question of software piracy. If they do not want users of competing products to use the software, they should build appropriate checks into the access to their BBS. If you install a BBS, and advertise the numbers, I am free to download AND USE anything I can, as long as I make no attempt to break the installed security features. If you place someone else's proprietary software on your BBS, and I download it, the owner can complain to you, sue you for damages, etc., and probably can get a restraining order to stop me from using the stuff, but I cannot be held liable for the fact that you put it there without access restrictions on it. -- W.N.Paul, Int.
