Here's the latest scoop regarding Trident drivers!

They will be available Friday for the following modes:

	For the 8800 based cards: 800x600x16, 640x480x256
	For the 8900 based cards: all the above + 1024x768x256

They will be sending the out Friday to their OEM manufacturers (i.e.
Logos, Maxxon, etc...). You can also get them directly from Trident
for a $40 software upgrade fee (pretty steep, but I was told they
include other drivers, as well). Anyway, Trident's phone number is
(408)738-3194, if I copied it from work correctly. All in all, I think 
this is a shameful distribution policy considering ATI, Video 7, and
Paradise have uploaded theirs to Compuserve and made theirs available
for free.

PS I just traded my Trident for
a Paradise based card after experiencing
interference problems.
