I just got the Trident Windows 3.0 drivers for the 8800 chip boards
today, along with all of their other drivers (Presentation Manager,
etc.).  (Drivers for the 8900 chip boards have been out for about 2
weeks.)  I got drivers for 640x480x256, 800x600x16, and 1024x768x16
modes.  Unfortunately, it seems that their official policy is still
that we can't give copies away, even though they're going to make them
publicly available on their own BBS.  I think that they're still
charging $40 for the driver disks if you have an OEM board rather than
one of theirs.

If anybody wants to contact them, their address and phone numbers are:
	Trident Microsystems, Inc.
	321 Soquel Way
	Sunnyvale, CA 94086
	Tel. (408) 738-3194
	Fax  (408) 738-0905
	BBS  (408) 736-5483
Don't try calling their BBS yet.  It won't be up for 2-3 weeks, because
they had to send back the hardware yesterday.
