Default In need of old PC drivers...

I'm helping an elderly pal out with his old Packard Bell PC after windows crashed. Needless to say he's lost the original floppies. I've installed 98Se but now need drivers for the graphics, sound and riser modem. I've emailed PB requesting these - their site doesn't list these legacy drivers.

Its a P3 PB 9533 - can anyone help, please? FRom what I gather it's a Intel 810e chipset with integrated graphics.

TIA
JR

Intel will help you out with video + chipset.

The modem could be fun - I've spent many an hour trying to find a driver for an unbranded 56k modem.

cheers chaps. I've had a few mares with modems myself in the past...

The modem, unbranded does indeed sport some numbers -

ACSC 94807838
6765590000

050-523600-205
T104 04

As earlier it's a CNR/ANR riser type thingie...

Whack those numbers through Google etc and see what you can turn up.

If the PC has normal PCI slots then you might be wise to stop wasting time, given a new modem is sub £10 these days,
