"FireGL 8500" drivers

[JCLW]

For those with 8500/8500LE cards working with pro 3D apps and wishing they had FireGLs:

Full install packages - as always, use at your own risk:

***Links no longer work***

I know the XP version works, can someone test the win2k version for me?

Thanks to everyone at Rage3D (www.rage3d.com) and DriverHeaven (www.driverheaven.net) who has worked on this over the years

BTW if you have XP SP1 (or later I guess when they come out):

SP1 contains 8500 drivers so XP will just load these by default and not let you install the FireGL driver. To get around this rename c:\windows\inf\atiixpag.inf to atiixpag.inf.bak. This will stop XP SP1 from loading drivers for ATI devices.

To reverse the change just rename atiixpag.inf.bak back to atiixpag.inf.
