I need a DOS driver for my Cougar Video Edition AGP card. If there is none, then could somebody point me in the direction of a generic 16-color driver. I need it to use FUSION 3.00 Macintosh Emulator :-)

DOS itself doesn't require a video driver, so you are barking up the wrong tree there
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

I'm not stupid, I know DOS doesn't need a video card driver, but the emulator does.

In the guide you can read:
"VESA v1.2 or newer (v2.0 for "Direct" driver)"
Your card must support the VESA standard (a set of routines inside the rom of the video card)
I don't know what kind of card you have but seems to have a Riva TNT2 M64 chip and should support the VESA 2.0 standard since it was released after it.
Hope this helps.

From How to use PC Fusion 3.0

If you want to increase color depth past 256 colors, you must use the VESA_REF.FVD video driver which doesn't work well with all graphic cards.
