From sCary's Shuga Shack (www.shugashack.com): ---- Glide on Creative Labs TNT [3:00 pm] - Huntsman BetaBites (www.betanews.com) sent word of Creative Labs releasing a beta "unified driver" for thier Riva TNT product. What is unified? the Unified Driver allows Graphics Blaster RIVA TNT owners to run many of the games which support 3D acceleration only via the Glide? API. This = "cool". I'm sure 3Dfx will have a heart attack though. I've got a Creative Labs card on my box at home, so I'll give it whirl tonight and report back my findings in the morning ---- Anyway, this could be good news for anyone with a TNT if it works on all reference boards. I have a Creative card anyway :) M

don' t suppose I can get one for my STB, being that they were supposedly purchased by 3dfx,,, Not sure if that is good or bad...

It's been posted to alt.comp.periphs.videocards.nvidia if you want to bypass Creative's serial number requirement. I hear that it is also on http://www.glideunderground.com/. I installed it (I have a Creative TNT) but it replaced some of my Voodoo 2 drivers and resulted in a black screen with GPL. Since that wouldn't do, I reinstalled my Voodoo 2 drivers and am back to normal.
