[GEM Development] Which Video Chipset IS the Dis'ted One?

[John Elliott]

I've gone through all my postings to the list back to 2003 and can't see 
anything describing that particular situation. There are still a number 
of drivers which I believe to have existed but seem to be lost (shown in 
red on <https://www.seasip.info/Gem/Drivers/video.html>) such as the 
Everex EV233 / EV235 or Maxlogic MaxVGA, and a few shown in yellow where 
I've got the driver but don't feel I can distribute it.

I do remember encountering a situation with corrupt driver floppies for 
a rare video card, but I think those were Windows drivers rather than GEM.
