I have an updated driver for the ATI Rage II+ cards as well as a Yamaha YMF715 based soundcard. I'm going to try and post them tonight. Is there anything I should consider before that attempt?

You cannot change a file once uploaded, you can only edit the picture, description, and category. Include in the zip any texts, docs or pictures . Zip it up with 7zip or winzip.
Include a picture of the device or the disks if possible (only need be 800x800 pixels +/- .JPG) and Give a small description...
You can look at some of the other library posts to see what others have done....That is all I can think of.
Hate posting a reply and then have to edit it because it made no sense 😁 First computer was an IBM 3270 workstation with CGA monitor. Stuff: https://archive.org/details/@horun
Uploaded my collection of Reveal sound card drivers. There are a few bad files but also some work arounds....http://www.vogonsdrivers.com/getfile.php?file … 3&menustate=0,0
Due to recent circumstances will be trying to catch up and upload a bunch more..as time allows..

Its a feature I've requested before. If you have a driver compilation which needs updating and you have good reasons, then Squallstrife can do it behind the scenes, atleast he did for me for the PowerVR driver compilation.
So, I got bored.
Installed 3.11 on Vmware, found out that there's a patching tool for the SVGA driver, figured that was a bit of a pain for your average pleb, bundled the patched driver with an inf file so your average joe can install it like a normal driver.
The main feature is simply that because it is renamed, and has a different name in the inf which clearly defines it as a vmware patched driver, it doesn't interfere with the standard drivers if for whatever reason that is an issue.
I... don't think a patched standard driver would be considered naughty, so here it is.
One thing I don't understand is that it works perfectly WITHOUT network, but goes haywire when the network is enabled.
I didn't make the patch, so I have no idea why this could be except possibly resource conflicts. I'll see if I can figure it out, but for now you've been warned.
Kinda curious how many people care if any.

Here's another couple of utils that would be useful to add.
CD-Open, cd-close (msdos)
Shamelessly created from instructions here:

Here is a (similar?) program (2 actually). I have only one
CD-ROM drive so I don't know how this will work with multiple
drives.
:: cd-opcl.bat
@echo off
if "%1"=="1" goto close
if "%1"=="0" goto open
echo. Syntax: %0 0³1
echo. opens or closes cd-rom tray
echo. 0 (zero) to open, 1 (one) to close
goto end
:open cdtray

^^^ This is the best way to do it, presently.
Also, regarding viruses/malware/trojans/etc in the files in the archive: if anybody wishes to bring these to my attention, please do.
However:
1. It's better to post the information in this thread, where multiple people can see and potentially validate the report. Most "infections" I've investigated have been false-positives.
2. At the very least, please include: A link to the download on the site, the name of the infected file within the ZIP/RAR/etc if applicable, and the name of the alleged virus.
