The following is a quote from the above website:

This is an updated reprint of the last information AMS Tech posted up on their web site just before they went off line and closed their doors. I missed the notice and didn't download the drivers and BIOS files before they closed.

Sorry I didn't see this question earlier...

AMS Tech laptops are rebranded Twinhead laptop machines. Go to http://www.twinhead.com/MAR/history.htm and find your particular model (the pictures help.) My AMS Tech 5030ECX is really a Twinhead Slimnote XL, for instance.

The video circuit in my system is a customized Trident Video Accelerator 3D Cyber9397. A generic Trident driver for this card works. If you can identify the chipset in your laptop, then you should be able to get a good driver. It may not support all of the features built-in to your system (such as NTSC out), but it's better than VGA!
