Search for ViperII on the mSoft HCL site and they say "Contact the manufacturer". I must have pulled the "mSoft owns the driver code" outta my @ss. I know I've seen that somewhere but don't quote me now. Anyway, maybe you can send them an email and get a definite yes/no out of them for XP drivers.
Good luck.
Re:The 92101 drivers worked for me too. I did not try any 3d games though. I did have some problems with the display such as icons not showing up on the taskbar, like the small graph for task manager not showing up all the time in the system tray and the quick launch icons.
Re:I sent an email to Support@diamondlegacy.com on 8 Nov and they replied saying the drivers ship with XP and mSoft owns the driver code. Don't expect driver updates from Diamond/SonicBlue. I couldn't find a good driver with XP or the following W2K drivers.
<excerpt from email>
I installed the Windows 2000 5.12.01.9008-9.21.01 drivers. They work OK but
there some font problems in Windows XP. The title bar of a window or maybe one
line in a window is unreadable. If I minmize/restore the problem sometimes
goes away in that window.
I also tried running 4×4Evolution using Direct3D and there were serious
rendering problems. Parts of the scenery and roofs on the trucks were missing.

I got this excerpt out of my sent items. I'll have to get the full diamondlegacy reply from home and will post it.
BTW, I solved my problem with a VisionTek GF3 Ti 200. Sorry, but no good news here.
