Paid a visit to ATI today.

Saw a customer service rep there who was fairly helpfull.
@ Me : Recommended driver for 8500LE & 8500DV aiw = Cat 4.10.
Not sure if that means those are the best drivers for Super 7 boards, or the last driver that supports Win98-SE, or the Driver that came w/ the cards when shipped. Will clarify, I have his e-mail address.
@ Me : At AMD site to find older drivers use "Advanced Search"; for 8500 cards search by ID : 737- [1328]
@ Mamba : Best places to get Bios files are :
www.gameguru3d.com - & - wwwguru3d.com
@ Uranium 235 : Re ArtX drivers, he will investigate and get back to me. He has my e-mail address, and I have his.
Will invite him to become a member here, as he would be a valuble info source if he chooses to join.
EDIT : One other interesting piece of info I picked up at ATI was this : They had an internal poster up marked "Confidential" re "Fedex" boxes. Seems ATI thinks the white one are ok to use; but not the brown ones. Photos of both, one saying OK to use, other saying "DO NOT USE". Could be shipping in the brown Fedex boxes results in damaged goods.
