Hi Alice,

I'd like to thank you for posting all these drivers.  I've spent a very long time before finding your website while trying to resurrect an old
Aptiva with Windows 98.

Just to make things a bit easier to find, the Crystal Audio drivers are for a CS4610 chipset, the PCI Vendor ID is 1013, and the PCI Device ID
is 6001.  If you include this on your page somewhere, it should make it easier.

Likewise, the video card is a Trident 3DImage 975, it's Vendor ID is 1023, and it's Device ID is 9750.  The common driver going around on the
'net is a 9750 driver, as if it is the same, and it doesn't support all the video modes of the card or DirectX acceleration.  Once I installed your version it was all fixed!

If you include that extra information, I think it will make your page much easier to find.  I spent about 3 hours searching before finding
your site.
