Elusive Cirrus 543x Drivers CAN'T Hide! From Doormat's "For What It's Worth" department: I have noticed the popularity of requests for the elusive Cirrus 543x drivers on quite a few bbs's, and decided to hunt down a few sources for all us W3.1 / W3.11 users (and abusers!). Here is a short list of sites allowing FREE ACCESS to a variety of CIRRUS VIDEO DRIVERS for IBM/CLONEs running W3.1/W3.11, W95, or DOS. One of the BEST parts is that none of these sites send spy/adware, and they do NOT use ActiveX runtimes to hijack your browser! Be sure to read the notes here before running off to download the files ... Enjoy :-D ! ----------------------- IBM CORP: ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/pc/pccbbs/aptiva/c5430_34.exe ----------------------- Dr. Tech: http://www.dr-tech.com/drivers/drvg54w3.exe ----------------------- BOCA RESEARCH: ftp://ftp.bocaresearch.com/Drivers&Software/File_area_02/ Contains SVGAP1D.ZIP and SVGAP1W.ZIP - (D is DOS, V is WIN) ----------------------- Embedded Software Group: http://www.embeddedsoftwaregroup.com/cirruslogic/graphics/543x.html GD543x OS/2 (2.x and 3.x) drivers v1.24 GD543x Windows NT 3.1 drivers v.1.24 GD543x Windows NT 3.5x drivers v1.24 GD543x Windows 3.1x drivers v1.24 Disk 1/2 GD543x Windows 3.1x drivers v1.24 Disk 2/2 GD543x DOS utilities v1.24 CL-GD5430 executable BIOS overlay for PCI adapter, v1.20 * CL-GD5434 executable BIOS overlay for PCI adapter, v1.20 * *Note: This is not a BIOS update; updates can only come from the video board manufacturer The segment of the page stating "For CL-GD5430 or CL-GD5434, the Cirrus Logic 5429/30/34 driver included in the Windows 95 distribution disk(s) should support most implementations of the chip" does not seem to mention that the files are NOT on the W95 UPGRADE or COMPANION Disks under those names. (However, a search of WIN95_04.CAB indicates Micro$oft versions of the files, including vgafull.3gr, supervga.drv, cirrus.vxd, and cirrusmm.drv .. there may be others whose names I am not familiar with.) And, from the INDEX page: "Cirrus Logic did not produce or distribute a WIN 98 OEM graphics device driver for any of their graphics chips. The WIN 98 Graphics Device drivers for the Cirrus Logic CL-GD5446, CL-GD5480, or CL-GD5465 were created by ISDCorp and are available for purchase on the ISDCorp Enhanced Driver page of this web site."
