Default video driver

I am in the process of reloading a pb legend supreme 1973. the thing looks
like it was made in 1973 but im doing it for a friend so any help is
appriciated. I need to find the video driver or a recovery disk or something.
I've got win 98 up and running on it but i only have 16 color display.
thanks

As with other PB systems from 1973 (maybe 1993?), you have to find the video
chip on the motherboard, determine its manufacturer and model, then find the
drivers at the chip manufacturer's web site... Ben Myers

you can try reading the serial# from the bacvk of
the unit
Off hand i think you may have an 860MB
A google search shows a cyrix processor
Not an absolute serach
Many variables
Using hunch

I can link you on how to determine MB
by reading from a link if you need it then the
driver search may be easier

I usually look at the chipset as ben suggests
