.  The drivers are available on CompuServe, as file V2KW30.LZH (I think
that's right) in the non-MS drivers library in the MSWIN forum. To unpack
it, you'll need LHARC (available as LH113C.EXE, self-unpacking; to locate
it, GO IBMFF to run the IBM File Finder).
   I downloaded, unpacked and installed the 800*600*16 driver last night
(I'm running a TVGA with 256k) and it really makes a difference. I can now
get 80 columns of text on the screen without maximizing the window. The
Windows SETUP needs all the unpacked files in a single directory. I copied
them to a diskette for my B: drive, and gave SETUP the path, but when it
went to actually copy the files, it insisted on trying to read the A: drive.
So I copied again to a floppy and stuck it in A: and SETUP was happy. Then
it told me I needed to add DRIVER=EGA.DRV to my CONFIG.SYS, but when I went
to reboot, EGA.DRV was bad/missing. Well, it turns out there's no EGA.*
anywhere in my Windows directory or on the Windows installation disks, so I
deleted that line, rebooted again and all was well.
   Happy downloading!
