- I downloaded the new drivers (bld46.zip, I think) from ftp.cica.indiana.edu,
- installed them on my 4DX2-66V, and had no problems with lock-up. I
- tried them out for a while but went back to the Crystal Font driver because
- I love the Crystal Fonts. Anyways, point is that while I didn't exactly
- give them an acid test, the new drivers definitely did not cause my
- VL-Bus machine to lock up, so the answer to your question seems to be
- that they are *not* just for ISA Ultra Pro's....
