On my multiboot machine with NT4.0 and WFWG 311, i've installed a Radeon 32MH..theres no win3`1 driver for it that i can find, however, so my w31 partition is now 640x480 16color...i've heard it might be possible to get an older ATI driver to work on it...unfortunately i don't know specifically *which* radeon it is..the NT video properties just says 'radeon', and from my experience running that same card in other computers, the card's ID seems to be different with every different driver (obviously windows ID's it's cards from the driver, and not the hardware!).
In case anyone recognizes any of these specs..(it's a radeon 32 meg PCI with the 'rage theater' chip)
here they are:
Radeon
ATI Tech
4.3.3102, 4.0.0
ati2mtag.sys,ati2dvag.dll
chiptype: Ati Radeon AGP (QD)
DAC Type: internal DAC (350 MH)
Memory size: 32MB
Adapter String: 1002-5144-04

However, despite what the specs say, it really is a PCI card..i don't know why it would say AGP..
Any one know which older ATI drivers migt work..ive got a lot of them on old install disks going back to '96, so i probably could find them if i knew what to look for.
Thanx!

These are the 3.1 drivers in my own archive and hopefully there's one that works for your card......
