The following files are the driver and readme file for the Intel 810 video preloaded in the IBM PC300GL, type 6268, 6278, 6288, and 6338 systems. These files are for the Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows Me operating systems.

I see I forgot to add something. I have an 6561-55J model [Japan] Does this make a lot of difference? I will check [all] your links anyway. Thanx for swift reply :) Daniel

It only makes a difference in that you need
the Cirrus Logic drivers, available from ibm support.
Go to the links above and specify model and type number,
and you will find the drivers.

Dear CrazyOne & Bjorn,

Downloaded the BIOS update [nzj242a.exe] from IBM. Unzipped it onto floppy. Restarted system, changed a couple of things, restarted system again. System detects new hardware [IRO?], reboot again. Went to Control Panel, Display, Settings... but still have 16 colors and 680x460px setting... What did I do wrong? Have to qiute for today [it`s after midnight here in Japan], but will check this site out again, tomorrow. Thank you for your replies. I appreciate it. Daniel

OK,
I'm assuming it's the display drivers rather than bios
that is causing your problem,
To verify go to the device manager, click on display
adapter . I suspect you will see Standard VGA or something
similar rather than Cirrus Logic xxx.

Either way, head back to ibm support and download the
the display drivers.
The install may vary a little bit depending on how
the drivers are packaged, IBM usually included a readme
file with instructions.
Most times, you would go to the device manager,
display adapter, properties, driver tab and click update driver, choose specific location, and point to the
downloaded drivers (or the inf file to be more specific).

Actually I looked at the IBM site for the 6561-55J model and I couldn't find any drives specifically for the video.

I would suggest removing the video drivers and reboot to have ME reintall the video driver. It may not have installed the correct one to begin with.

I did the same search earlier and that wasn't even listed. Weird.

Yeah, navigating on the site sometimes moves in
mysterious ways, my first search only yielded
Rapid Restore, moved around a bit and up comes the list..

Anyways Daniel,
assuming that the video driver you used with 95 is
32 bit (amazing if it wasn't), it should also work with Me.
If you still have it you may want to take it for a spin.

You would be better off though with the newer driver
from IBM.
You should also be aware that ME added signatures.
Installing a driver without this (Win9X) generally generates a signature verification dialog.
No worries, just say yes and proceed with the install.

Dear CrazyOne & Bjorn.

Hurray!! Things worked out well. Downloaded QB3T17.exe from IBM site, as you guys suggested. Threw it onto floppy[ies]. Uninstalled [deleted] previous [PCI - VGA] Display setting. Restarted computer [with floppy 1 in it] and there you go. Now I feel I’ve been able to return to the land of vision [16 bit, 24 bit, etc]. In a 16 color setting hardly any web page, or software application, can be viewed. Pheeww... One thing though: why need 2 floppies [for QB3T17.exe] and in the end only use 1?

An other question: during my quest I found something about a speaker in my IBM`s "system". The only thing I can hear is a bleep, every now and then. What do I need, or have to do, to get sound out of this machine? I haven’t been able to detect any sound connectors, plugs, etc, to hook up a sound-system. Also no build in volume knobs, etc.

Let me take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude for your help. In these anxious times, so full of conflict, hatred and a tidle wave of despair, your willingness to help out [a] perfect stranger[s], is a shining and ample example of the true nature of mankind. Where bombs do maim and destroy, a simple gesture of kindness lets the dried out desserts of hope bloom again. Please do keep up the good work!

About awarding points: would you guys mind sharing the [75 –1] points and take 37 each? I, for one, cannot decide who should get what, or how much, and I honestly think the both of you deserve an equal share. Deal?

Sincerely, Daniel

Point split fine with me,
Cheers Bjorn

Umm what ever you decide Daniel on the points is ok with me. But Bjorn is the one who located what you needed. :>)

As both of you have gone through the trouble of [trying to help] helping me out, it would only be a matter of fareness to split the points.

Do I have to do anything to get those points to you? If so, please let me know what I have to do, k?

I`m off to a meeting now and I`ll check again in 5 hours. Have a good one :o])

Sincerely, Daniel.
