nVidia driver on OS/2
I found a generic nVidia driver for the RIVA 128
TNT chipset, that should have served my OS/2 system. When i tried to install it, it demanded another disck which I did not (do not) have and I don't understand what it is that is wanted. The message simly asks that the disk with the driver on by put in the drive. I have got what appears to be the same driver from the nVidia site and from Hobbes. Anyone any idea what is going on here.

D I took a quick look at the README and it seems to want you to make an install disk (yeah a floppy!). I don't know much about OS/2, but this seems odd. Here's the README text: -- begin -- OS/2 GRADD Video Device Driver for the Nvidia NV4 1. If system is not in VGA mode, it is recommended that install VGA mode before driver installation. 2. Insert the "NVGRADD 1" diskette into drive A (or any other diskette drive). 3. Open an OS/2 full-screen or OS/2 window session. 4. At the OS/2 command prompt, type the following command to copy all necessary files to the OS/2 drive: A:SETUP NV A:\ C: where A: is the diskette drive. Then press Enter. 5. Once file copy is complete, restart your computer. Make sure the diskette has been removed from the install drive. NOTE: The installation diskette should be labeled "NVGRADD 1" CID or unattended installation is available by utilizing the "/u" option (ie. setup NV /u). ** The GRADD driver requires Fixpack5 or greater for Warp4 (Merlin). ** The GRADD driver requires Fixpack37 or greater for Warp3. -- end -- I would take a look at your labeling and see if that's the cause, it's probably a very primitive installer. |

I did read the install.txt file. It is not at all clear quite what is wanted. Having unzipped the files I put them on a floppy and ran the setup.cmd file from there as idicated in the install.txt file. The setup routine gets into its act a little then demands that I insert another floppy with the driver on it. There is no indication in the install.txt file or on either of the websites that I have got this file (disk) from what this is.
