Last time I checked the IBM web site, that driver was not mentioned, however, it seems that very little has been done by IBM to provide updated drivers for any 701 series machine since mid-last year. Chips & Technologies has their disclaimer on whether their drivers will work for anything, but it works fine for me, and the Direct X support is nice for grins, even if all that software that exploits it runs best on Pentium machines. So, in short, do what you feel is in your best interest - I feel your pain in fearing video upgrades (esp. with Win95), but having external 1024x768x256 without the interlacing and not having the MS-DOS command line fuzzies by upgrading the video driver was a big win for me. -charles
