i am looking for the fabled Windows NT ATVista targa graphics card drivers/software. I
have been reading old articles and it was claimed an expensive solution existed to capture
frames from the card under Windows NT. I would even use a dos capture program if it
could run in a dosbox under windows (the version I have off the demo disk seems to lock up
if in windows)
Heck even one for Windows 3.x or 9x would be great. Any ideas where to start? I
can't even find the ATVWin.exe or tiga graphics drivers anymore, sheesh.
Thank You

The software and drivers for Targa were very hard to get. Also some ran
with horrible configurations with dongles and keys which interfered with
the use of the setup by paid users.
I have some hardware somewhere in a pile, but no software either.
You'll be way better to use modern video and just have the Targa and
ATT's approach to this product sector as a glaring model for how open
source and open hardware and standards won, and this nightmare of a
product lost.
Apologize for the rant.

I have a Truevision Targa+ board, and the machine it came out of. Its
running W98, and the tplus directory has 5 files, targap.sys, 4 exe files
(tplusini.exe?). The files have timestamps of 1991, 1992.
If you are interested, I'll see if I can get them uploaded somewhere this
weekend.
Was a Glamour Shots system back in the late 90s.
