Picking up drivers for these cards and other legacy If you're looking for such support then saying "I want support for this card and I've asked twice already!" is NOT the thing to do since this is a volunteer project and that's not how such things get done. They get done because someone like yourself has a card and the motivation to make it work, so they do a driver and contribute it. I don't know of anyone who even owns one of these cards anymore, so if it's not you who does this then I honestly doubt that it will be anyone at all and you might as well simply replace that card now.
