Problem: I want to put a voodoo 3 card in a computer that doesn’t have internet access. I don’t have the driver CD-ROM. I’ve downloaded drivers, but that leaves floppy disks and I’d rather put only the driver files on those disks(I don’t care about the control planel and such) I’m fairly sure I have need the .cab files but I’m not sure if I need anything else, and since I have to drive across town to do this, I’d rather have everything before I go so I’m not just wasting time and gas. And yes, I realize that voodoo 3 cards are old, but the card in the computer is ever worse and for some reason is having problems. I have my own Voodoo 3 and figure I’d donate it, particulary since it’s not like the person using the computer is going to be playing 3D games. ---

Floppies? Can’t you use a CD burner or a USB flash drive? ---

Well, I eventually did end up using a CD-burner. But then again, it actually didn’t matter at all, because what I thought was a Voodoo3 card was another card entirely, so I didn’t need the drivers. Though now I can’t remember ever buying the card I used, so I’m at a loss where it came from.
