Hi!

Go ask your grandma if she still has the Windows version 1.0 ;->  You'll
find there the SG10.DRV, which will do the job, although with the problems
associated with using the applications made for older versions of Windows
(ie. you will have to retouch it for Windows 3.0 using the MARK.EXE from
Windows SDK or the corresponding PD program, and you'll have to be prepared
to remake all of the settings when printing the first time during a Windows
session, because the driver won't save them).

I'm using it in Windows' standard (or 80286) mode; there may be some extra
problems with enhanced mode, but I haven't tried.
