I need neomagic NM2097 , Magicgraph 128ZV+ drivers for windows 3.1, and I can't seem to find them , I do Know the previous graphics magicgraph 128ZV and the graphics card that came out after the 128ZV+ , the 128XD has windows 3.1 drivers , So I believe the 128ZV+ should have drivers for windows 3.1 , I just can't seem to find them, If anyone can help that would be great. If I look for the 128ZV+ drivers it comes up drivers for the 128ZV only.

    Can somebody tell me if I am right , I believe this is the driver ?

    ftp://ftp.pcf.pl/Drivers/Notebook/Adwance_II/WIN31/VGA/RELEASE.TXT

    This is the document for the version 5.07 driver for the 128XD and 128AV graphics for windows 3.1 , it's listed in the document as
    TITLE: NM2160/NM2093 WINDOWS 3.1x DISPLAY DRIVERS
    VERSION : 5.07

    But than it gets confusing when you look at the Release history for the previous versions , in the list it has about the current version of 5.07 and it listed as :

    Version 5.07 NM2160/NM2097/NM2093 Win3.1x display drivers

    it adds the NM2097 , for the driver, which is the 128AV+ , Does this mean the driver is compatible with the 128AV+ as well? It's weird they list the driver for the 128XD and the 128AV , and then when you look at the release history and they add 128AV+ , at the release history of the current version 5.07?

    Hello,
    it seems the drivers you found (the whole directory) are rights for the shield you've got.
    Try and then tell me what happend. I think they will go perfectly.
    Good night!

    Those devices were used in some early Thinkpad models. I had a Thinkpad 240 that had a similar chipset, after looking on Thinkwiki it seems the 380 had this exact chipset. Try looking on IBM/Lenovo's site for the older drives, they used to keep a huge archive of older models on there.

    That ibm had the 128ZV , not the 128ZV+ . No IBM thinkpad seemed to have the 128ZV+ at all , after the ZV they went with the 128XD which came right after the ZV+. I don't know the difference between the ZV and the ZV+ seem to have the same specs up to the same amount of ram.
