Future proof » Tim’s free-for-all driver guide

Instead of individually blogging about each and every random device and its driver I come across, I’ve decided to make up this page to list them all. This is partly for my own reference, and partly for everybody else’s reference – I’m sick of random bits of hardware I can’t use unless I sign up to driverguide or its sister sites and pay for the privilege of using the stuff I already own. There will be no sponsored links, ads, compulsory registration or any such nonsense, and it’ll remain as long as I can support and maintain it myself. All the drivers I’m hosting are in http://tim.id.au/static/ , which I’m hoping Google will index at some point and show up in searches for exact filenames and such (hint: searching for “index of” filename often turns up plain folders like that full of drivers). http://www.tim.id.au/blog/tims-free-for-all-driver-guide/
